Shelf Elf not only posted a great review, and the first book trailer I’ve seen for OWL (embedded below), she also hosted me for an interview. Thanks for the thoughtful questions and the beautiful book trailer.
Blogger My Friend Amy happens to be a pastor’s daughter, and gives OWL the thumbs up for getting a lot of the feelings right. And, in case anyone was wondering, she says, “Also…I want to say that I fully recommend this book to both general markets and the Christian market.” Thank you!
Natasha Maw posts a review as well as some video footage from my Salt Lake City launch over at her great book blog, Maw Books.
Today, the incomparable Cynthia Leitich Smith hosts me for an interview, in which we get into some reasons why there haven’t been as many YA books about faith as one might expect, and also discuss in more detail why I don’t do Google alerts or look at my Amazon rankings and reviews. Thank you, Cyn, for asking the question.
And here is Shelf Elf’s Once Was Lost book trailer, which I love:

I know you will likely forever mock me for saying this, but that trailer is BOMBTASTIC! I love it. Shelf Elf rocks! (As does your book, of course).

@Emily Wing Smith, Agree re the trailer. It’s not too long, doesn’t give anything away, and evokes the mood. Perfect!
I loved this book so so much. I reviewed it on my blog last week if you’re interested: http://everydayreading.blogspot.com/2009/10/once-was-lost-by-sara-zarr.html

@Janssen, One of the drawbacks of not self-googling is that I sometimes miss great reviews like yours. Thank you so much!
