Red Palms
Here’s what the critics had to say about Cara Haycak’s unique coming of age story set in an exotic island off the coast of Ecuador:
“Readers will be enchanted by the exotic, magical qualities of this coming-of-age story. Unique and beautifully written.” –Kirkus Reviews.
“Haycak serves up a rich literary stew, like a chef who throws all her ingredients into the pot at once.” –Voice of Youth Advocates.
“Haycak writes a captivating, insightful story, and the vividly evoked setting, cultural specifics, and strong characterizations distinguish this inventive, ambitious effort from a talented new author.” –Gillian Engberg, Booklist.
By the way, Cara the Author is really fun. I had the pleasure of sitting next to the author at my friend Dib Ziade’s 50th birthday party. Cara named a character in Red Palms after Señor Ziade!
