I loved Susan Juby's Woefield #1 & #2. It tickled the farm girl in me. I was not sure about this YA book and it took me a long time to get into it. However I was pleasantly surprise, delighted, entertained, and concerned about the main characters. It is good for me to get out of my historical fiction genre and try new and more youthful themes.
It was inspiring in April to see Susan Juby accept the Excellence in Culture Award from Nanaimo. Long over due since she's received so many other awards to date. Really "stoked" to see if she wins the 2016 Leacock Award for The Republic of Dirt.
Keep the books rolling Susan Juby!
