Booklist gave Rebecca Petruck's new novel, BOY BITES BUG, a starred review, calling it "...funny, perceptive, and timely in more ways than one." Kirkus Reviews said it "...successfully weaves together such important themes as bias, solidarity, and coming to recognize one's own privilege and prejudice, delivering them in a plot that is so very middle school (bugs! sports!)... An admirable feat that entertains even as it instructs." School Library Journal says, "...will please lovers of the 'Wimpy Kid'series. VERDICT: A sure bet for reluctant readers." Her debut, STEERING TOWARD NORMAL, is a Blue Ribbon winner as a Best Book of 2014 by the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB), an American Booksellers Association Indies Introduce New Voices selection, as well as a Kids Indie Next List title. Vanity Fair's Hollywood dubbed it a "book we'd like to see made into a film," the L.A. Times included STEERING TOWARD NORMAL in its Summer Books Preview, Christian Science Monitor named it one of 25 Best New Middle Grade Novels, it is part of the International Reading Association's list "Books Can Be a Tool of Peace," in the 2014 ABC Best Books for Children catalog, an American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture Recommended Publication, and a Midwest Booksellers Choice Award nominee. STEERING TOWARD NORMAL is a Housatonic Book Award finalist, and the BCCB gave it a starred review. Rebecca is a Minnesota girl, though she also has lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, England, Connecticut and, currently, North Carolina. A former member of 4-H, she was also a Girl Scout, a cheerleader, and competed in MathCounts. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UNC Wilmington.
