SELECTION - The Globe & Mail 100 Best Books of 2014
PRAISE FOR The ACB With Honora Lee:
"De Goldi's story of an only child's determined efforts to know and
love her grandmother deserves a place in the pantheon of quiet,
word-of-mouth classics . . . Perry is funny and bewitching, and all
of the other characters, even the walk-ons, are equally engaging.
O'Brien's curious diagram-illustrations pay appropriate tribute to
Perry's admiration for the unconventional." --Starred
Review, Publishers Weekly
"Clever, poignant and sweetly funny, this will be especially
appreciated by those who've experienced a loved one with dementia."
--Kirkus Reviews
"This is not a predictable tale of
hands-across-the-generations--there is no treacle in it, no weepy
climax--but a portrait of an understanding heart and an exploration
of the natural craving for order, however eccentric it turns out to
be." --The Wall Street Journal
