Writing with compassion and a wealth of evocative details, Rose offers a memorable heroine and a testament to the will to survive.

If May is a brave, stubborn fighter, the short, free-verse lines are one-two punches in this Laura Ingalls Wilder–inspired ode to the human spirit.

Heroes come in all sizes, and my newest hero is a pint-sized girl named May. She is a girl you'll be proud to know.  
—author Karen Cushman

May B's incredible adventure gripped me right from the beginning. You can almost hear—and feel—the cold prairie winds of Kansas whipping through the pages of Caroline Starr Rose's impressive first novel.
—author Deborah Hopkinson

Language as stark and beautiful as the Kansas prairie. A great antidote to the hooked-up, plugged-in age.
—author Kelly Easton
