Starred Kirkus review for CHIARA IN THE DARK
I’m thrilled to anounce that Kirkus loved Chiara in the Dark and gave it a starred review: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/maya-chhabra/chiara-dark/
“As readers follow Chiara’s story, which is narrated in clear, direct, first-person poems, they will be heartened to discover that treatment options are out there, and they will be rooting for her as she learns to manage her illness… A sympathetic and ultimately hopeful story of strength.”
You can preorder here. Contrary to the Amazon release date, it will be released on April 1st. No joke!
