Becoming Ellen deftly picks up where Invisible Ellen, a favorite of mine, leaves off. It's a novel of grace and tenderness, so darkly funny in places it made me laugh out loud; I kept stopping as I read, to hold on to these wonderful characters, to keep them with me just a little longer. --Luanne Rice, New York Times-bestselling author A tale of kindhearted, hesitant heroism, with a little vigilante justice. --Kirkus Reviews Endearing...the character interaction, funny situations and heartfelt drama elevate this tale above many others in this genre. --RT Book Reviews Despite the underlying dark themes, the novel is upbeat overall as Ellen continues to take steps to open herself up to the world. Readers will warm to Shattuck's brave heroine. --Booklist
