 Eddie's Choice is another intense, true-to-life teen novel from Ms. Reynolds. The reader is rooting for Eddie as he deals with his past and sorts his way through his journey to his future. My students love these books and for many students it is the first set of novels they truly enjoyed and comprehended.
 Robert Huynh, English Teacher, San Gabriel High School, CA 
Eddie's Choice the latest volume in Marilyn Reynolds’ popular “True-to-Life Series from Hamilton High,” is the ripped-from-the-headlines story of Eddie Barajas from Reynolds’ previous novel, Shut Up. Reynolds does an excellent job of capturing the climate of bigotry and hatred that increasingly affects the lives of contemporary Americans in the wake of the 2016 election. Never didactic, her story is dramatic and compelling while her characters are fully realized and highly empathetic, especially Eddie and Rosie, the girl he meets and falls in love with. The combination of gentle love story and novel of gritty realism makes for a compelling read. The pull-no-punches novel is sure to excite discussion and -- excellent for both classroom use and independent reading.
Michael Cart, "Booklist" columnist and reviewer
