Praise for "Keep Holding On" by Susane Colasanti:
"[Keep Holding On] ... will give readers plenty to think about and a list of resources to tap into if they need them." --"Publishers Weekly"
."..smart dialogue, quirky characters and richly layered plot. Emotionally satisfying from beginning to end." --"Kirkus"
"Noelle's situation will resonate with teen readers. Her struggles are those of real teens--trying to fit in, feeling left out, searching for love, making hard choices." --"VOYA"
"This novel could be recommended to those who enjoyed Sonya Sones's What My Mother Doesn't Know (S & S, 2001) or Courtney Summers's Some Girls Are (St. Martin's, 2010)." --"School Library Journal"
'As with every novel I've read by Susane Colasanti, the narrative swept me along and kept me reading. The dialogue is sparky and witty, and the plot unfolds at an entertaining pace. I was soon rooting for Noelle and hoping things would work out for her... The blossoming romance in this novel is sweet and definitely left me smiling.' --- Chicklish
From the author:
When I was a teen, I would have been mortified to admit that I was being bullied at school. My junior high and high school years were the worst time of my life. Kids picked on me for being a science nerd. They picked on me for not wearing the expensive sweaters and jeans everyone else had. They picked on me for doing weird things like writing song lyrics on my sneakers (this was back in the day before writing on your sneakers was cool). I was embarrassed by all the ways I didn't fit in.
