◊ What people are saying about her tour and the book:
I am a big fan of Kogler’s first YA novel Ruby Tuesday, and again here in The Otherworldlies, Kogler’s intelligence and imagination are standouts in the YA field. (Kogler is currently attending Stanford Law School, so we can only hope she will find time to continue to write for YAs in the future.) The Otherworldlies is a vampire novel, a complex one… The main character is Fern, a 12-year-old with a twin brother, Sam. As is true with Ruby Tuesday, the young age of the heroine might be misleading because both books demand much of the reader and older teenagers would still be fascinated by Kogler’s stories…but Fern’s dilemma of identity, her intelligence, her loyalty to her human family, and her remarkable relationship with her twin brother will challenge YA readers of any age.” - Claire Rosser, KLIATT
“Brimming with action and colorful characters, The Otherworldlies brings you a gutsy heroine who must learn to embrace her ‘Unusual’ talents. You’ve never seen vampires like this before.” - Laura Ruby, author of The Chaos King
“Author Jennifer Kogler’s book brings a voice that fits the young adult audience perfectly. She grabs their attention and never lets go! Students jockey to get their hands on her book, knowing that the wait will be worth it. Jennifer Kogler is a YA writer whose time has come and YA’s will be there standing in line for her books.” – Library Resource Center Director, Lisle, IL
“I would highly recommend Jennifer Kogler… our students were totally enthralled… believe it or not, she talks in the most interesting way about the importance of citing sources. Because she is sharp, has a great sense of humor, and thinks on her feet, she fielded questions with the greatest of ease. She is a librarian’s dream author visit.” – Library Media Specialist, Cupertino, CA
“We’ve had several very successful author visits, and yet some students concluded that Jennifer’s was the best yet. One teacher shared his pleasure with her presentation and said, ‘Whatever it is, Jennifer’s got it. That special quality that just makes some people shine.’ I couldn’t have said it better myself.” - Library Media Specialist, Monmouth Junction, NJ
