Canned

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • “This macabre mystery may make readers give up canned foods.” – Kirkus
  • “The crime involves murder, but in a very unrealistic way, so it is not a typical mystery book. An appropriate choice for the classroom, home, and school libraries.” – Childrens Literature
  • “Its black humor, balanced by a serious look at forced child labor, will keep readers hooked from the beginning.” – School Library Journal
