NEW YOUNG ADULT BOOK: Zora and Me by Victoria Bond & T.R. Simon

I generally skim through the New York Times online once a day, to find out if there's anything that suits my interests in the books, arts, health, or style section. Reading through the articles in this week's book section I came across a review of a wonderful new young adult (YA) book titled Zora and Me by Victoria Bond & T.R. Simon. Can I just say my mouth dropped open when I saw the cover illustration, it's absolutely beautiful! I love all things Zora Neale Hurston and it's so timely that the authors crafted a story depicting Zora as a young detective. Can't wait to get my hands on the book to add to my collection of children's books. The authors would have been perfect for last month's A is for Anansi: Literature for Children of African Descent conference at NYU last month.
