Karen Rivers has crafted an intelligent middle grades read that should be a must read for all ages. At times, laugh out loud funny, at times grippingly sad, at times over the top optimistic, at times irreverent, at times harsh, but at all times rich in voice and full of heart and character. The Girl in the Well Is Me is a triumph."- Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan "A gripping story that doesn't shy away from the dark places but explores them with heart, humor, and light." -Kate Messner, author of All The Answers "It should strike a chord with its tween audience." -Booklist "Funny, surreal, occasionally heartbreaking.a compulsively readable story." - School Library Journal "This is a fascinatingly well told story that strongly reminded me of Libba Bray's Going Bovine, but with a completely believable middle grade flavor."- Teen Librarian Toolbox / School Library Journal "Interesting and well-written."- San Francisco Book Review "Poignant, profound, and heart-warming, The Girl in the Well Is Me will speak to readers on every level. Karen Rivers has penned a dazzling voice, at once hilarious, heartbreaking, and searingly honest. Moving, suspenseful, and impossible to put down."- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "I dare you to pick up this riveting novel without reading straight through to its heart-stopping conclusion. The catastrophe draws readers in, and the universality of spunky Kammie's life-affirming journey will engage a wide audience.
