Loved this review!
"If youβre someone who gets hung up on the YA tag, push βPauseβ on that for 224 pages. This is a book that deserves a fair shake and many, many readersβSimpsonβs debut is as strong as Walker hopes to be."

πΊPRAISE for THE MERCILESS KING OF MOORE HIGH!πΊ
Asking for blurbs is gut-wrenching, GETTING them- from authors I look up to & whose work I admire- sustains my embattled heart.
Please join us in his bright & terrible kingdom,

Are you a publishing professional located in the midwest (sorry but not open to creatives-only at the moment)? Would you like to join the Slack I just made in the hopes of creating community more locally and lessening the FOMO of not being near NYC? Leave a comment!

The Merciless King of Moore High is illustrated by the incredibly talented Jensine Eckwell. For a book where contemporary high-schoolers start a feudal system (after all the adults morph into monsters) she married medieval woodcutting with a gorgeous contemporary palette. Chills!
