Praise for One Last Chance to Live : A Junior Library Guild Selection "The slow burn of an eerie mystery yields more than clues. Stork pens a coming-of-age story especially attuned to finding healing through art." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "[A] thoughtful, moving account of a life on the edge. Underlying all is the profound and believable hope that Nico will overcome his obstacles and be able to recognize his writing -- and his life -- for the precious gifts they are." -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Stork delivers an impactful and ambitious work. It's unflinching regarding life's greater challenges -- but that grittiness is the strength of this engrossing and expertly realized tale." -- Booklist (starred review) "A grieving teen from the Bronx turns a class journal into a lifeline in this high-stakes page-turner." -­- Publishers Weekly "Raw and real.


Hard to put down." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for I Am Not Alone : A Junior Library Guild Selection "An affecting, deeply emotional story. An important book." -- Booklist (starred review) "Alberto's suspected schizophrenia makes him heartbreakingly susceptible to both the best and worst of humanity. An illuminatingly powerful story about mental illness, young love, faith, and hope." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "This taut and suspensefully plotted emotional drama offers a nuanced, poignant story of friendship in the face of adversity." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "The narrative's high-stakes conflicts are front and center, [but] it's the sheer sweetness of Alberto and Grace's love story that sets the tone of this hopeful read." -- Publishers Weekly "An intricate hunt for truth through the maze of mental illness.


Stork's resonating, empathic fiction once again provides audiences with convincing reasons to believe 'I am not alone.'" -- Shelf Awareness.
