PRAISE FOR The ACB With Honora Lee : One of The Globe & Mail 's 100 Books of 2014 "De Goldi's story of an only child's determined efforts to know and love her grandmother deserves a place in the pantheon of quiet, word-of-mouth classics . Perry is funny and bewitching, and all of the other characters, even the walk-ons, are equally engaging. O'Brien's curious diagram-illustrations pay appropriate tribute to Perry's admiration for the unconventional."-- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Colorful, chaotic line drawings that incorporate elements of the story embellish this novel about a girl's newfound relationship to her senile grandmother. Clever, poignant and sweetly funny, this will be especially appreciated by those who've experienced a loved one with dementia." - -Kirkus Reviews "This is not a predictable tale of hands-across-the-generations--there is no treacle in it, no weepy climax--but a portrait of an understanding heart and an exploration of the natural craving for order, however eccentric it turns out to be. Sprinkled throughout with Gregory O'Brien's chic illustrations, which seem to mix midcentury modernity with a dash of Kandinsky, it's a beautiful little chronicle that will suit thoughtful readers over the age of 10." --The Wall Street Journal.
