Praise for Leslie Parry, featured chapbook contest winner:

“Kiddo is a knockout. The language paints the set for this story with natural, assured strokes: cars are the color of licorice and goons get slugged and panic fizzes. Kiddo is a mystery full to the brim. Family, friendship, mistaken identity, poverty and the allure of Old Hollywood combine to ensure that every sentence is packed with intrigue and heart.” —Jac Jemc, author of A Different Bed Every Time
