“Fast Paced and Amusing!”
Every writer thinks about Kirkus, and if they say they don’t they’re either lying or have a lot more self-restraint than I do. For those that don’t know, Kirkus is a widely respected book review source with a reputation for being objective but perhaps a tad cranky at times. I’ve been wondering for a while if they would review Grounded. When would it happen? And more importantly, would they like it? Well…the review is up and they didn’t hate it! In fact, they liked it! It’s actually quite positive and I am thrilled!

Darcy Marks is a lifelong reader who learned to walk quite well with a book in front of her face, thank you very much. She lives in Vermont with her husband, three genre-defying kids, a very needy cat and an extremely friendly former racehorse, where she writes rebellious fantasy books for kids. When she’s not reading or writing she explains math and science to lawyers as a forensic toxicologist and used her several black belts to help found The Safety Team, a non-profit changing the world and smashing the patriarchy one step at a time. She is the author of GROUNDED FOR ALL ETERNITY and other snarky books for kids.
