“Crash does a great job of mixing personal stories with big-picture history, delivering a compelling narrative about the Great Depression–and about how Americans’ reaction to it changed our country forever.”
–Steve Sheinkin, National Book Award Finalist and Newbery Honor author of Bomb and Most DangerousPraise for Spies: A New York Times Best Children’s Book of 2019
“Marc Favreau’s Spies is narrative nonfiction at its finest: insightful, impeccably researched, and, most of all, impossible to put down.”
–Deborah Hopkinson, Sibert Honor author of Titanic: Voices from the DisasterPraise for Unequal: A YALSA-ALA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adult Award Finalist A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A New York Public Library Best Book of 2022
* “Empowering, profound, and necessary, purchase for all collections serving young adults.” –School Library Journal, starred review
–SLJ starred review* “Favreau weaves vivid, succinct accounts of the volatile U.S.-Soviet relationship into his tension-inducing spy stories… Black-and-white photos and excellent supplemental material…enhance the reader’s understanding of this riveting, timely topic.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
–PW starred review* “A jaw-dropping account of Pearl Harbor … artfully conceived and grippingly told.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review“An inclusive, expansive take on a pivotal historical moment. [Favreau] accessibly and engagingly shows readers that with Pearl Harbor, the real story is ‘more complicated–and much more interesting, tragic, and heroic–than the simplified version.’”–Kirkus“Well researched and particularly attentive to offering one person’s viewpoint at a time, giving a sense of immediacy to their individual experiences and intensity to their memories and observations. A very readable book on a topic of perennial interest.” –BooklistAbout The Author
