Kate Walden Directs: Bride of Slug Man
KIRKUS
"Populating her novel with smart kids navigating tricky social situations, Mata crafts a nifty entertainment for the post-Mean Girls generation...Shining brightest of all is Kate herself, a character so often mistreated in books such as these...The author perfectly captures a girl who is young, ambitious, smart, but still willing to learn...Smart, funny and slick."
