From the Critics

"Ellis''s first collection of short stories for YAs exhibits the same fine writing quality that readers have come to expect from her. As occurs in the majority of her books, Ellis addresses a social concern, this time drugs and addictions, but she does so without engaging in any preaching or making of overt value judgements. Instead, she just lets readers draw their own conclusions from the stories'' happenings.
Highly Recommended."
-- "CM Magazine"

""Lunch with Lenin," is a powerful and skillfully executed collection of short stories about the impact of drugs, alcohol, and addiction on the lives of young people. . . This collection is guaranteed to provoke discussion and debate among those who do read it, particularly at the junior high and early high school level, and is likely to attract teachers looking for accessible and interesting classroom reading."
-- "Quill & Quire"

"The stories themselves are uniformly readable, and their subject is undeniably timely and urgently important."
-- "Booklist"
