Review A New York Times Bestseller — A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2016 — An Amazon Best Book of the Year 2016: Young Adult — A Junior Library Guild selection — An ABA Indies Choice Young Adult Honor book 2017 — Kids' Indie Next List "Top Ten" Pick (Autumn 2016) — A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults 2017 — A Southern Living Best Book of 2016 — A Bank Street CBC Best Book of the Year 2017 "Arnold’s funny and touching second novel is about many things: making peace with the past; the families we create; abstract painting; and what it means to be a 'genuine heart-thinker' . . . Arnold has a talent for stringing together words in just the right, jumbled order. His sentences are arrows." — The New York Times Book Review "[In] David Arnold’s follow-up to last year’s wonderful Mosquitoland . . . Arnold continues to show mastery in crafting relatable teens struggling with dark circumstances . . . They’re a highly enjoyable bunch of outsiders.” — USA Today "Funny, sweet, utterly heart-wrenching." — Entertainment Weekly "A gorgeous, insightful, big-hearted joy of a book. Kids of Appetite made me fall in love with the world a little bit more." — Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything " Kids of Appetite is one of the most honest, emotional, human books I have ever read. You will feel it. This one's a life-changer." — Becky Albertalli, Morris Award –winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda ★ "Showcases a memorable cast of outsiders carving out space for themselves . . . Arnold writes with a Hinton-esque depth and rawness." — Publishers Weekly, starred review★ "Luminous and deeply affecting . . . Beautifully written with compelling voices, evocative allusions and metaphors, and pithy aphorisms, this offers the sentimental cleansing (the kind that comes with tears) that books do best, admirably living up to Mad’s own favorite book, The Outsiders, in its path through tragedy to blessing." — BCCB, starred review "Expert pacing . . . Arnold’s memorable characters feel real, and their story compels till the end." — Entertainment Weekly"Spot-on pacing and lovely wordsmithing. Sophisticated teen readers will love this." — Kirkus Reviews "Arnold's prose is sharp and observant, his pacing restrained, revealing each character’s backstory gradually while also setting up a murder investigation that keeps readers guessing until the second it doesn’t. Vic constantly refers to life revelations from his father, including the idea of “simultaneous extreme opposites”—a concept that, given all the laugh-cries to be had in his emotionally well-wrought novel, Arnold motherfrakking nails." — The Horn Book "Arnold offers a heartfelt tale that entwines ferocity with quirk, loss with first love, and beauty with asymmetry . . . Philosophical teens drawn to themes of belonging will revel in his latest." — Booklist "This literary novel will satisfy teens looking for a quirky read . . . The writing is lush and lovely." — School
