KIT PEARSON was born in Edmonton and grew up there and in Vancouver. So vividly and lovingly evoked that it is almost possible to smell the pine trees.” “Pearson’s real strength … lies in her ability to convey the texture of a specific time and place….
“This is a writer at the top of her craft.” “Pearson superbly and gently captures the welter of emotions that beset a young teen who is experiencing the onset of adolescence and having to cope with its physical and emotional demands.” “Kit Pearson’s careful and exact research brings the period vividly before us.” “The very best in fiction for young adults. “Through the vivid observation of two summers, Pearson weaves a summer out of time and weaves as well a spell over her readers.”
Closer would be a word that catches the irregular glint of light reflected on water, street lights suspended in fog, an opalescent fracturing of time and genre to create something with its own unique glow.” It’s not the right word for what Kit Pearson manages to do … but it’s close. “Kit Pearson gives young readers a strong testament of the interlocking nature and power of reading, writing and living.” “Pearson is a strong writer whose work puts to shame most of the books that kids spend so much time reading these days.” “One of Canada’s best junior fiction writers.” “Kit Pearson is a great talent in Canadian children’s literature.”
