Reviews "A coming-of-age tale that is as full of sass as its uniquely named protagonist. Violet is a worthy ally for readers navigating their own stormy evolution. Kirkus Reviews"Haworth takes on coming-of-age dilemmas with spunk, innocence, and a cast of believable, well-developed characters, describing the challenges kids face when one friend matures faster than another, the two-against-one pitting of girl trios, and budding romance. An enjoyable read with plenty of discussible points about relationships." SLJ"Haworth gives Violet's voice an unusual honesty. . . . Ultimately, this is about the changes in life and the fact that we're not always ready for them, and readers will sympathize with Violet's determined attempts to keep things the same." BCCB"Danette Haworth's work is strikingly comparable to that of the great Judy Blume. Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning is an accurate portrayal of a young girls struggle with the end of childhood and the rite of passage into womanhood." curledup.com"Danette Haworth has crafted a beautifully written, pleasurable read. In Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning, Violet's spunky, blustery voice is a terrific contrast to her sweet, gentle soul. There is something about Violet that reminds me of Opal in Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie." TeensReadToo
