Just got word from on high that the Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books has given The Morgue and Me quite a nice little review. I don't know if it's kosher to post the whole thing, so I'm not going to do that, but I have great respect for book reviewers who have to condense their evaluations of 70,000-word-long books into 100 and 200-word-long reviews, while also outlining the plot/mood/anything else they want to comment on. And this particular review, I think, manages to capture quite a bit about the book in a very short space.
Actually, I like it most for six particular words: "Ford's debut novel is a rousing success . . . ."
Rousing!
