Critics Review
Utterly immersive and richly atmospheric, Orange on a Stoop is a delight. At once a heartbreaking family saga, page-turning mystery, upended fairy tale, and poignant exploration of prejudice, friendship, and love, Scalise’s masterfully-crafted debut has something for every reader. The sharp, clever narrative voice had me hooked from the very first page. * Shelley Read, author of Go as a River *
