Praise for Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls…
A Kirkus Best Teen Book of 2012 "An engrossing exploration of how a murder affects a community."--Kirkus, starred review
"This is a thinking-teen's mystery."--Bulletin "Hahn emphasizes the universality of growing up and facing death."--Horn Book "This wrenching novel offers an aggregate portrait of the effects of loss and grief, including both the strengthening and dissolution of relationships."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "This creepy tale slowly and craftily builds tension . . . It has the added feature of offering a unique snapshot of life in the 1950's."--School Library Journal "The veracity of this tragedy raises the stakes for readers who are already fans of Hahn's supernatural fiction, and the coming-of-age component of Nora's shattered naïveté is all the more searing."--Bulletin
