Reviews for Junonia
"Henkes knows that Alice, like many girls her age, carries plenty of things in her mind-and her heart-that she seldom speaks of. She mulls them over privately, and in Henkes's hands, eloquently."
New York Times "Very few writers have such a keen understanding of the emotional lives of children; here Henkes is at the top of his game."
