Kirkus Reviews....Michael Scott Garvin tells the story of a 13-year-old orphan sent to live with her forthright great-aunt. When Poppy Wainwright's grandmother dies, she travels from her home in Arkansas to live with her grandmother's older sister, Sookie, in Savannah, Georgia. "Your Grandma Lainey was a self-righteous nit-wit," Sookie tells Poppy upon their first meeting, "and if I had the gumption, I'd drive myself up to Mountain Home and spit on her freshly dug grave." Sookie is everything Poppy's grandmother was not: atheistic, slovenly, suspicious, prone to vendettas, and completely lacking any verbal filter. Yet there's much that this foulmouthed, long-lived woman has to teach young Poppy about the world and how to be a woman in it. Aunt Sookie & Me is a fine submission in the long tradition of Southern bildungsromans. Garvin animates his characters with wonderfully vulgar dialogue...and he manages to tackle serious issues of sexuality and domestic violence while keeping the book lighthearted and highly readable...An often charming and funny coming-of-age tale...readers won't want Garvin's larger-than-life vision to end."San Francisco Book Review "Run and get this book and prepare to laugh!"
