Praise for Blind:

"A profound YA debut" —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"With traces of John Green’s Looking for Alaska. . . a vivid, sensory tour of the shifting landscapes of blindness and teen relationships" —Kirkus, starred review

"A gracefully written, memorable, and enlightening novel." —Booklist

"A well-researched and much-needed story. Emma is a capable heroine who manages her disability with realism and  grace." —School Library Journal

"The vivid text and the colorful descriptions allow the reader to imagine how and what a blind person sees. . . DeWoskin tells her tale with humor, hope, and powerful reality." —LMC

"Blind. . . allow[s] readers to inhabit another person’s soul so fully that they will be unable to separate the heroine’s pain from their own and become a little less blind to human suffering. . . for sheer emotional profundity and the elusive feeling of living another person's experience through fiction, DeWoskin is hard to beat." —SF Weekly

"Heart-wrenching" —TeenReads.com

“Blind is soon to be on the tips of everyone’s tongues.” —Bustle.com, August 2014's Best YA Books

L'autore:

Rachel DeWoskin spent her twenties in China as the unlikely star of a nighttime soap opera that inspired her memoir Foreign Babes in Beijing. She has written two novels, Repeat After Me, and Big Girl Small, the coming of age story of a sixteen-year-old with dwarfism. Big Girl Small received the American Library Association’s Alex Award, and Rachel’s conversations with young readers inspired her to write her first YA novel, Blind. Rachel lives in Chicago and Beijing with her husband, playwright Zayd Dohrn, and their two little girls.
