Praise for Untwine: NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Literary Work2015 VOYA Magazine Perfect TenCCBC Choices List selectionBank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year, 2016New York Public Library Best Books for Teens selection"I fell in love with Untwine. It's a book I want to give my daughter, my sister, my best friend. Danticat is a master." -- Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming"A genuinely moving exploration of the pain of separation." -- The New York Times Book Review* "Danticat... shines in this young adult novel... A bit mystery, a bit romance... a touch of humor, well-crafted characters and strong writing make this a book to recommend[.]" -- School Library Journal, starred review"[T]his tale of grief and resilience should appeal to people who love Danticat's fiction for adults, too[.] Danticat takes several staples of young imaginations (and some old ones, too) -- and spins something beautiful yet down to earth out of each one. While Danticat fully grounds Giselle in her identity as a Haitian-American teen in Miami, this gentle young artist could speak to any teen anywhere coping with a major loss." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer*"[A]t once heartbreaking and uplifting." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review"An honest, endearing exploration of family, grief, and perseverance." -- Kirkus Reviews
