Advance Praise
Hello? is recommended for readers who enjoy quirky coming-of-age stories and believe in the human connection,
~School Library Journal, Donald Peebles, New York Black Librarians Caucus
Liza Wiemer's words evoke the heart of the Door County,
Wisconsin setting and allow the story’s honest portrayal of five teens to
resonate far beyond. Through the intertwining formats and perspectives,
elements of family, grief, faith, memories, friendship, love, fear, and hope
seem destined to combine in a profound way. A remarkable YA debut.
~JILLIAN HEISENBCT, Heise Reads & Recommends
In her YA debut, Liza Wiemer has officially launched herself
on the map with grace. Hello? Is
a powerful and brilliantly woven story of love, loss, and human connection that
makes you believe in the world again. It owned my heart from the first page to
the last. One of the most original books EVER.
~HANNAH MCBRIDE, The Irish Banana
During the 1960's, Carole King released an album entitled
Tapestry – a masterful weaving of story and song. A half-century
later, author Liza Wiemer has mirrored that blend by wonderfully
stringing together several forms of narration, one specific to each of her
characters. Hello? is a
truly remarkable and memorable story communicated in a superbly envisioned way.
~PAUL VOLPONI, Award-winning author of THE FINAL FOUR, GAME SEVEN, and BLACK AND WHITE
Heartfelt and honest, Hello? will have you rooting for its characters until the very
last page.
