Chapter Books
Lee K Abbott recommends
The Gateway (2007)
T M McNally
"Lordy, what a wickedly wise writer T. M. McNally is. The Gateway is a terrific book, impatient and wrought up, a book that goes a long way toward answering this age-old question: Why do fools fall in love? Here are seven answers, each beguiling and break-neck and bedeviling."
Heir Apparent (2019)
James Terry
"Terry is a literary artist of the best sort: keen to render the world whole and crosswise."
