And Nothing But The Truth

"In true Kit Pearson fashion, this book delivers a thoughtful and intricate tale of family and fortitude as Polly learns to stand on her own and to bravely face a number of painfultruths. . . . Her keenly felt sense of betrayal by Maud and Noni and the others is sensitively handled and so perfectly in tune with the mind and heart of a child.” CANADIAN CHILDREN’S BOOK NEWS “Pearson offers lively characters and a rich depiction of life on the island, her prose echoing the quaint sensibilities of the novel’s 1930s setting. . . . Although the novel seems aimed at a younger teen readership, the hard-earned but simple lesson Polly learns is of value to readers of any age: people are complex; they can and do change.” QUILL & QUIRE
