Recensione:
"A Girl Named Zippy is droll and distinctive... but it's also unerring in relating the universal smallness of a rambunctious yet thoughtful child's world." --Entertainment Weekly
"Almost dreamlike in some of its elusive storytelling, A Girl Named Zippy pulls off a literary feat that’s harder than it looks... Zippy’s parents must have done something right to produce a girl who could write such a simple, lovely book." --USA Today
"Oddball characters, drastic events, the loftiest of ideas, and the peccadilloes of small town life combine to mesmerizing effect in Haven's Kimmel's wonderful novel. She is a literary alchemist of the highest order."--Jenny McPhee, author of The Center of Things
"Eureka! Here's an utterly original book. The Solace of Leaving Early manages to be both a fiercely intelligent novel and a sweet, quirky love story all at once. And as she proved in A Girl Named Zippy, Haven Kimmel can do anything she wants with language.”
--Lee Smith, author of Oral History
