Carl Safina's THE VIEW FROM LAZY POINT (Henry Holt), just released on January 4, has been receiving phenomenal reviews! Here's a sampling:

A superb work of environmental reportage and reflection.” --Kirkus, starred review

[A] lyrical conversationist...[A] compassionate account.” --Publishers Weekly

A book of beautifully modulated patterns and gracefully stated imperatives. --Booklist

A true masterpiece...LAZY POINT just might become the 21st century's WALDEN POND.” --Gary Soucie, former editor of Audubon Magazine

Moves easily from revelatory observation...to passionate, lyrical philosophy.” --The Economist

Everyone's excited about THE KNEEBONE BOY! -- Coming out on September 14

With a dark, witty absurdity suggestive of Lemony Snicket, Potter draws readers into this compelling mystery-adventure....sharp, humorous, and poignant observations...Often laugh-out-loud funny, this tale quietly solves a deeper mystery: how to heal the hearts of this immensely likable trio.” --Publisher's Weekly

Fresh, funny and surprising. The sibling dynamics--alternately testy and touching--are believable, as are the wonderfully odd characters....A quirky charmer.” --Kirkus, starred review

Metafictional flourishes keep us amused and on our toes as Potter tackles some serious topics from a position both gothic-cheeky and compassionate.” --Horn Book Magazine

And, in a poignant haiku from one blogger:

Yes, it really is
that good. Voice, character, and plot --
it's got them all.
