Editorial Reviews

“Don’t Touch is fiercely compelling, darkly funny, and hums like a high tension wire with energy.” - Tim Wynne-Jones, author of Blink & Caution
“A tender love story about the beauty and the risk of showing someone who you really are.” - Nina LaCour, acclaimed author of Hold Still and The Disenchantments
“Well-written...a good story, the book educates about anxiety disorders and encourages sufferers that all is not lost, a point made in the author’s moving afterword...Libraries where Laurie Halse Anderson and Sara Zarr are popular will want this title.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
“[An] absorbing debut.” - Publishers Weekly
“Offers a good look at Obesseive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders.” - School Library Journal
