Since publishing on May 4, my debut novel Shelter Island: A January Hoolihan and Crisscross Adventure, charted its first week at number one on Amazon's teen and young adult family ebooks category, got a recommend from Kirkus Reviews, and garnered a coveted 5-star rating from BookBrowse. Review follows from BookBrowse:

"Jill Wisoff’s debut novel follows the exploits of two at-risk girls as they seek to carve out stable lives for themselves. Assigned to write a “What I Did on My Summer Vacation” essay, eighth-grader January Hoolihan chronicles the radical changes she has undergone in a few short months…. She captures dialogue wonderfully, adding depth to the characters through their conversations with one another. And, although the novel touches on some heavy themes (drug abuse, homelessness, child abandonment, rape), the narrative never feels weighed down by these subjects—and indeed is often very funny.

"Most striking, however, are the book’s amazing characters. Each of the young girls speaks and acts believably for their age. Crisscross comes across as simultaneously world-wise and childlike; her sense of self-preservation is so keen that she can determine which house is unoccupied for the summer so she can break into it, yet she believes in flower fairies…Shelter Island is remarkable in a number of ways, and both teen and adult readers are likely to enjoy this YA novel’s nuanced characters and plot."
