  • Geography of Girlhood:
    "A quirky and poignant story filled with wonderful details."
    -Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep

    "Smith's poems are tender maps of beauty and pain, of longing and hard-won truths, of a young girl's journey to womanhood."
    -Sonya Sones, author of What My Mother Doesn't Know

    "Totally fresh, innovative, intimate, sad, exciting, and unforgettable*Makes you feel like you are not as alone as you thought you were."
    -Jennifer Belle, author of High Maintenance

    "Kirsten Smith's verse is spare, subtle, and tender. A memorable story."
    -Deb Caletti, author of National Book Award finalist Honey, Baby, Sweetheart

    "The Geography of Girlhood is lyrical, gorgeous, hard-hitting. I couldn't put it down."
    -Lauren Myracle, author of TTYL, Kissing Kate, and Rhymes with Witches

    Ella Enchanted:
    "One of the smartest films for older children in quite some time, Ella Enchanted is a funny (and at times, politically pointed) take-off on the ancient conventions of fairy tales."
    -Dave Kehr, The New York Times

    Legally Blonde:
    "Well-crafted, good-natured silliness."
    -Louis B. Parks , Houston Chronicle

    "It's a formula that's well done here with plenty of laughs."
    -Paul Clinton, CNN
