Praise for SCROLL
“Artistically, Scroll is one of the most unique books on shelves today…Scroll is deceptively modest, starting with its cover, which depicts a writing lesson that blossoms into one of the most unique stories of the year—one that is as educational as it is entertaining.” — BookPage, Starred Review
