Why read it?

2 authors picked They All Fall Down as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When I heard an interview on NPR with Rachel Howzell Hall, I knew she needed to be on my list. Rachel is very prolific, so the book was a tough choice.

It’s a delightfully evil book filled with despicable characters, and you’ll enjoy watching them…all fall down.
