Reviews

"Pin Drop is a must read. Mo Perez will stay with you long after you close the back cover of this book and her story is both tragic and heroic. Roz Monette has written a book that elevates realistic fiction." -- Chris Crutcher, author, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes

"Mo's story isn't everybody's, but it's a powerful insight into how some people end up on the streets, and how difficult it is to get off them again. And she tells it without lecturing, hectoring or preaching. She just tells it like it is. The book is pitched at older teens, but I think it's an excellent book for anyone who wants a lively, engaging, hard story about a real world topic that seems beyond fixing. It may not solve the issue, but it will give you some insights into the human beings who have to live it." -- Narrelle M Harris, author, The Adventure of the Colonial Boy
