Join the hundreds of readers raving about Joyana Peters' perfect prose and calling this Jewish fiction book a masterpiece. Find out why The Girl in the Triangle was awarded the SCBWI Spark Award for Best YA Fiction, the IBPA Ben Franklin Award for Best Historical Fiction, the Book Excellence Award for Best Multicultural Fiction and was named a Top Five Finalist for Shelf Unbound's Indie Book of the Year!

IBPA Ben Franklin Award Winner- "Like Radium Girls and other books detailing how many died before safe labor practices were adopted, this book is a strong addition to historical fiction of this type. Girl In The Triangle presents the reader with a lot to think about: how do we decide about the right attitudes toward gender disputes? How do we "become" Americans? How do we keep traditions alive? All these questions make Girl In The Triangle an excellent historical fiction novel and choice for book groups." - IBPA Feedback

"The conversations among the characters led me to give this book 5 stars. They are raw and eye-opening even as the story buds. The Girl In The Triangle is simply a delight to read and will automatically tick the boxes of fans of historical fiction." - Reader Views

"That is what historical fiction does for a reader, a slice of history wrapped up in a compelling story that teaches and makes us reflect on the words and our own lives in the stream of time." - Historical Fiction Press Awards
