PRAISE FOR LIZ FICHERA’S YA DEBUT
HOOKED
“Fred is a likable heroine, both loyal to her community and determined to create a different life for herself….The high level of emotional drama will appeal to fans of contemporary teen romances, and readers with a special interest in books with Native American characters will be interested in the raw clash of cultures depicted in an Arizona community.”
—Booklist
“This is Fichera’s debut teen novel, and she immerses the reader in the culture of the Southwestern Native American way of life.”
—VOYA magazine
“I love Fred—she’s sporty, smart, stands up for herself and goes after what she wants.”
—Miranda Kenneally, author of Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker
“From the very first pages, this powerful story about the fight for tolerance, equality, understanding and love will have you ‘hooked.’”
—Megan Bostic, author of Never Eighteen
“I love this book so much!…Now that I’ve read it, I can say it’s one of my favourites I’ve read this year…It’s like Perfect Chemistry (one of my fave books ever!) and Catching Jordan and golf!”
—Jana, The Book Goddess
“Honestly, I did not understand what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book. It was crazy amazing! I was intrigued by the story because it was a new idea to me. It was great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something cute that is a little bit different.”
—Gabie, Owl Eyes Reviews
“Hooked is exactly the right title for this one, because hooked is what I was from page one on. Liz Fichera has written a masterpiece about the troubles of high school, acceptance and how to be yourself.”
—Erica, The Book Cellar
“Hooked is one of the best contemporary YA novels that I’ve read since Pushing the Limits. It is a stunning story about what happens when two people from opposite ends of life fall for each other….Fichera’s words are compelling and gorgeous, creating a truly fantastic novel.”
