Welcome, friends!

My debut middle-grade novel is available for pre-order and I can’t wait for you to read it! Not a middle-grader? No worries. Gittel is a true all-ages read. 

Here’s what Midwest Book Review has to say about Gittel:

"Original, skillfully crafted, emotionally engaging, and an inherently interesting coming-of-age story blended with an immigration-themed tale of hardship, prejudice, hope, and happy endings, Gittel by novelist Laurie Schneider is especially and unreservedly recommended for middle school, high school, and community library historical fiction collections...."

And this from Jewish Book Council: 

Read­ers will appre­ci­ate the live­ly, unique, and relat­able hero­ine of this com­ing-of-age sto­ry. Git­tel and her fam­i­ly are char­ac­ters that will be remem­bered long after one fin­ish­es reading. 

Gittel’s official release date is April 1. If you’d like an advance reader copy to review or would like me to visit your school, book club, library, blog, podcast...treehouse, virtually or in person, email me using the link on the Contact page. I can’t wait to share Gittel’s world with you!
