A Junior Library Guild Selection Etan's honest and lovable voice, and its growing strength, that carries this tender novel. " -- Publishers Weekly Praise for All of Me : A Southern California Independent Booksellers Association BESTSELLER! BookRiot Best Children's Books about Kindness Nerdy Book Club 2019 Award, Novels-in-Verse A Literacious Favorite Middle-Grade Book of 2019 A National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Notable Book "If you have ever felt lost in the world, betrayed by your body or buoyed by a glimmer of hope or the glow of friendship, then All of Me could be your story, too." -- The Los Angeles Times " All of Me is for anyone who has been in search of a tribe, in love with a friend or in need of answers to questions that they can't bring themselves to ask. In other words, everybody." -- San Diego Union Tribune " Astute and stunning. All of Me is highly recommended and offers an eloquent and often-heartbreaking glimpse into the experiences of a layered, complex and relatable protagonist. Readers will surely root for Ari as his story unfolds." --Jewish Book Council "[A] beautifully written and psychologically acute debut. Readers will be glad to accompany Ari on his journey to self-discovery." -- Booklist magazine "Any reader who has felt like an outsider will be drawn to Ari's story, which means his audience should be legion." -- The Horn Book Magazine "Baron's free-verse poetry is immediate and lyrical, allowing us access to Ari's thoughts and feelings in a way that prose would not. Baron's first-person narration allows the reader to experience Ari's pain and revelations, both of which are balanced with moments of grace and beauty....highly recommended for readers of all ages. " -- Bookpage "A unique perspective on weight loss and family told in beautiful, pitch perfect verse." --Happily Ever Elephants Blog "Tackling such difficult subjects as anti-Semitism, self-harm, and family instability with heart-breaking honesty and grace, All of Me deftly explores the complex layers of what it means to come of age. Baron's evocative verse beautifully expresses the depth of Ari's feelings; he will be a lifeline to anyone unsure of how they fit in the world." --Joy McCullogh, National Book Award nominated author of Blood Water Paint "I LOVE THIS BOOK. A moving and raw story that will stay with me." --Remy Lai, author of Pie in the Sky "In page after page of gorgeous verse, Chris Baron tells a story of hard-won healing, self acceptance, and hope. " --Jarrett Lerner, author of EngiNerds and the Geeger the Robot series "Chris Baron's gorgeous debut shines with strength, vulnerability, and humor. Ari's journey to self-acceptance is hopeful and inspiring." --Jen Petro-Roy, author of Good Enough:A Novel "Ari's story of love and loss and learning to live life on his own terms broke my heart and put it back together again. Beautiful and necessary!" --Kelly deVos, author of Fat Girl on a Plane " Baron's writing is quick-witted and full of depth, allowing complicated characters to navigate growing up, identity and struggling with heavy things -- not just body image and bullying but absent parents, self-harm, faith, first loves, interrupted friendships and more. The book is compelling, hopeful and a total page-turner. " --The Voice of San Diego magazine "A powerful story, beautifully told. Highly recommended." --Middle Grade Minded Blog
