PRAISE FOR
ALL THE BLUE MOONS AT THE WALLACE HOTEL:

" Wallace is one of the most original and entertaining children in modern literature"
--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A haunting tale...Stone's prose is poetic, yet grounded in realistic adolescent language...adroitly handling preadolescent angst against a backdrop of family tragedy and gradual renewal"
-- The New York Times

"In clear, luminous writing, Stone directs the plot toward a satisfying, happy conclusion as the Hoppers learn to open up and trust once more. A full cast of interesting secondary characters flesh out this moving, tender story of familial love." --Booklist
