Praise for The Length of a String
"Told in two voices which Weissman weaves together like a double helix, this is a story of family ties, some of which are broken by war, some broken by choice, some broken by unanswered questions. But by the end, readers will see that love and faith--from strangers, from friends, and from long-gone ancestors--have the power to knit us together with strings that are so much stronger than genetics. I loved this sweet refuge of a book." --Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Underneath and The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp
"You'll yearn with this wonderful heroine as she searches for long-ago Anna and her own hidden past. The characters are unforgettable, and the ending is entirely satisfying. A book readers will love; I know I did." --Patricia Reilly Giff, Newbery Honor-winning author of Lily's Crossing
"The Length of a String is a resounding continuum of connection and search for self. As universal as it is personal. A must read." --Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor-winning author of One Crazy Summer
