PRAISE FOR A Green Velvet Secret:
"Quirky, fully fleshed characters and a tender third-person
narration accompany themes of grieving, making amends, and living a
full life in this winning novel." —Publishers Weekly
"There’s heart and hope in this slightly zany book that sensitively
deals with death and grief. . . . This unusual, heartfelt novel
illustrates the grieving process in all its messy and emotional
stages." —Kirkus Reviews
"A Green Velvet Secret introduces the subject of assisted death
while helping young readers learn something about "the wondrous
adventure called life." Told with sensitivity and humour, this is
one of those rare books that can make you laugh and cry at the same
time." —Ildiko Sumegi, Quill & Quire
"Vicki Grant’s A Green Velvet Secret is rife with quirky characters
navigating pre-adolescence, friendship, family, and grief the best
they can. The chaos of their attempts is not only entertaining but
an affirmation that it is okay to grieve in your own messy way.”
—Young Adulting
