“This is the book of our time; the book we need—all of us, everywhere,” Lotz said in a statement. “In particular, it’s for children, especially those feeling forsaken or lost amid the constant upheavals in today’s society. Kate has seen them, just as she always does.” Lotz added that DiCamillo “is bringing them hope, compassion, and laugh-out-loud humor. She’s also offering them a true heroine, a warm and comforting mule, and—oh, so miraculous!—some justice.”---from Karen Lotz
