Here are just a few reasons you should pre-order a copy of PUDDIN before May 8th.
- You’re going to love this book!
PUDDIN is beautiful, funny, ridiculous, moving, and powerful.Check out what Becky Abertalli, author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, had to say: “Julie Murphy has created the platonic love story of a lifetime. I am wildly in love with Puddin’.”
- You’ll love PUDDIN, even if you haven’t read DUMPLIN’
PUDDIN isn’t a sequel– it follows the story of two characters introduced in DUMPLIN, Millie and Callie, in their own story of unexpected friendship, romance, and Taxas-sized girl power.And if you haven’t read DUMPLIN, you should! (DUMPLIN’s also going to be a movie this year with Jennifer Anniston and Danielle MacDonald, and an original soundtrack by Dolly Parton, btw).
