-- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *“Superb…These poems are stirring, demonstrating a life of hope and disappointment, rejection and opportunity… Bookwagon loves this thoughtful, rousing book. We recommend Hey, Girl! to readers and those who love them.”
* BookWagon *“I’ve always liked Rooney’s work for its spareness and lack of gush…Is she a children’s poet? I prefer to think of her as a poet whose work can speak to children and young adults, but can also be fully appreciated on its own terms by readers of any age.”
* Achuka Book of the Day *"An inspired and important collection. Girls will find themselves in the pages, which will help them to find themselves in life. Rachel Rooney is a very skilled poet, this is evident throughout, but so is her heart for girls who face challenges. Excellent stuff."
-- Coral Rumble, poet"Another wonderful collection from Rachel Rooney with fab illustrations from Milo Hartnoll. Diverse beautifully written poems for older children and teens."
