I’m not sure whether the sources cited count as ‘non-trivial published works’ and therefore not sure if this passes WP:NBOOK. Mccapra (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. This book was received reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Midwest Book Review , School Library Journal , and Marianne J. Dyson . The book was also named in Bloomsbury Children's Books Walker Books for Young Readers and selected for the "prestigious Texas Bluebonnet List" in 2007 . The article also states that the book was recommended by PBS. MarkZusab (talk) 23:57, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Kirkus is absolutely a quality and respected source. After that... The School Library Journal review is decent enough but I'm unsure how selective their lists are. The Midwest Book Review treatment is a capsule review at best. Dyson is a notable author but I'm unconvinced she's a recognized expert for the purposes of making her self-published site a reliable source. Nomination for the Bluebonnet award isn't exclusive enough to confer notability (15-20 nominees per year). Bloomsbury isn't independent. I think I'm willing to conclude that this one just squeaks by.

 * Keep per meeting WP:NBOOK criteria #1 through the reviews listed in my comment above. MarkZusab (talk)
