A Starred Review from Publishers Weekly!

I’m honored to announce that Don’t Blink! received a starred review from Publishers Weekly! Of course, making books is what it’s all about, but knowing the book-loving community enjoys your work is truly the icing on the cake. See below for a snippet of the book review, and to find a link to the full review.

 

The staring contest: it’s a refreshingly low-tech competition, and Booth (Who Wins?) captures the silly thrill of it all. His story opens with a bright-eyed girl sitting cross-legged in a minimally rendered outdoor setting. She looks straight at the reader, shouts “Go,” and assumes a fixed (but always amiable) gaze. Animals trickle onto the scene, politely ask to join, and are welcomed to do so—“Just don’t blink,” the girl reminds the newcomers. Within a few pages, nearly a dozen creatures have joined this battle of wills, each assuming a goofy, glassy look. “Don’t blink, don’t blink, don’t blink, don’t blink,” shouts the girl as weary eyes begin to narrow, but something’s eventually got to give.
