“By turns funny, sweet and heart-wrenching, A THOUSAND NEVER EVERS is an important book, which not only tells Addie Ann's story, but also gives an inside look at the civil rights movement during the early 1960s.  A fascinating read.”

–Ruth White, author of the Newbery Honor Book Belle Prater’s Boy



“Brilliantly written, A THOUSAND NEVER EVERS should have a place in every public and school library. Addie Ann and her family come alive off the page, as does the town of Kuckachoo itself.”

–Stacy Dillon, NYC School Librarian and Blogger

New Feature Article

Did you know that you can learn about the history of our country by examining the hats that people wore? Well, Fred Belinsky sure does. He’s the owner of the Village Hat Shops in California. Fred knows hats inside and out. He can tell you when a man should tip his hat at a lady and whether it’s okay to wear a hat indoors. As I wrote A Thousand Never Evers, I turned to Fred for all my burning hat questions.
