This new edition, from Soho Press, New York, will have much wider
distribution than the first edition, from a small press in Nevada City,
California, was ever able to achieve. I wrote a lengthy review of the
original edition for Knowledge Quest's Web edition, Sept/Oct 2007.
Dandelion Through the Crack won the nonfiction 2008 William Saroyoan
International Prize for Writing, as well as some regional awards.
In my opinion, the book belongs in every school library, middle school and
up, for reasons apparent in my KQ review. The new edition will be much
easier to order, as well as less expensive. (The original edition is now
out of print, and very costly when available at all.) I've been fanatical
about Dandelion, but I think that its winning one of the largest literary
awards in the world (the Saroyan) shows that I am not alone.
