"In a young adult book market crowded with the depressing and the dour, Tim Byrd’s Doc Wilde swings in on a jungle vine to raise the flag high for adventure.

Quotes by Tim Byrd (?)

“And when she died, she was lonely, and scared, and she missed her books. And she pretty much just got up and walked back to her house an’ started readin’.”
