PRISCILLA AND THE HOLLYHOCKS has been named a National Council of Social Studies
"Notable Trade Book for Young People" and will appear on their list for 2009.
"The selection committee looks for books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, and have a pleasing format and, when appropriate, illustrations that enrich the text."
