“An exceptional (adj: uncommon, extraordinary) coming of age novel of sisterhood, self-discovery, and the power of words--and art! Olive and Mattie are the sororal twins of my own young heart. In Words Apart, Lucido has delivered yet another masterclass in the verse-novel, as well as a joyride for logophiles young and old.” — Lindsay Lackey, author of the award-winning middle-grade novel, All the Impossible Things.“Poetry, word play, and comics intertwine in surprising ways throughout this moving story of family and friendship.” — Terri Libenson, New York Times Best Selling author“Words Apart is a deeply empathetic, ingeniously constructed story of two sisters trying to find places for themselves in a world that doesn’t always know what to do with them. I love this book with my whole heart.” — Anne Ursu, author of Not Quite a Ghost“This book will expand your heart as much as it will your vocabulary. It’s a beautiful reminder that family comes in all form(at)s. Simply stupendous!” — Kate O'Shaughnessy, Newberry Honor Award-Winning Author of The Wrong Way Home
