Praise for Period.8…
“Period 8 is the best of Crutcher: warmth, humor, and spot-on teen reality, but coupled with terrifying intensity and a shocking ending.”
-Laurie Halse Anderson, author of Wintergirls and Speak
Praise for Deadline: “As usual, Crutcher does not hesitate to incorporate serious subject matter within an engaging first-person narrative.”
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review)
“Crutcher uses dark humor and self-deprecation effectively to avoid maudlin situations, and teens will appreciate the respectful tone of the work.”
-School Library Journal
Praise for Whale Talk:“Crutcher offers an unusual yet resonant mixture of black comedy and tragedy that lays bare the superficiality of the high school scene.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Cataclysmic and triumphant.”
-Kirkus Reviews
