Holm has been given the Newberry Honor award three times for her books Turtle in Paradise, Penny from Heaven, and Our Only May Amelia, so I can’t fathom how she has the time to write so many quality stories in so many different genres. For them to come up with so many fun, original stories is incredible – there are now at 16 Babymouse and soon to be 4 Squish books in the last 7 years. The brother/sister team that writes and draws Babymouse and Squish is remarkable.

'He had it coming' is a refrain throughout the number, 1 as each think their crime was justified. In typical Babymouse fashion, every one of the potential suitors and the possibility of them asking her to the dance blows up in her face. At the Cook County Jail womens annex, six women explain their presence in the jail, all of whom stand accused of killing their significant others. There’s a long list of boys that Babymouse finds interesting, and that adds to the fun.

In Babymouse’s fifth book, Heartbreaker, it’s Valentine’s Day and the dance is coming up.
