Extraordinary reception for Extraordinary October

“In an auspicious debut for teens, adult author Wagman proves particularly adept at mixing genres and maintains a terrific balance between fantastical (and occasional macabre) happenings and genuine teen perceptions.” —Kirkus
“…the story’s heart and charm are undeniable, and readers can’t help but root for its relatable, down-to-earth heroine.”
Publishers Weekly
“Big themes with this story mirror current cultural conversations surrounding marriage equality, race, and self-identity.” —Booklist
