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...."

Gittel’s official release date is April 1, but if you’d like an advance reader copy for review purposes or would like me to visit your school, book club, library, blog, podcast...treehouse, virtually or in person, send me an email using the link on the Contact page. Print and digital ARCs are available now. I can’t wait to share Gittel’s world with you!
