Praise for Henry's Hand
"A charming story with wonderful illustrations-give Ross and Henry a hand!” -Patrick McDonnell, Caldecott Honor-winning author/illustrator of Me . . . Jane and creator of Mutts "Clever, moving, and funny. What more can you ask for in a beautifully illustrated children's book?” -Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair and father of five "In Ross MacDonald's world, fiendishly silly things happen as a matter of course. In Henry's Hand, our weirdly lovable hero is falling apart-literally-and chasing after the pieces. Only Henry is more human than he appears to be-which can't always be said about the rest of us!” -David Small, author/illustrator of Stitches, a National Book Award finalist and #1 New York Times bestseller "Henry's Hand is funny and sweet, but creepily crazy enough to delight any young monster-lover. It delighted me." -Paul O. Zelinsky, three-time Caldecott Medal-winning author/illustrator STARRED REVIEW "A good old-fashioned man/appendage love story for the ages... Kids will come for the monster and the disembodied hand. They'll stay for the story." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review "All the pieces are in place, as it were, and MacDonald sets them in motion in a melodramatic plot that wraps up with a reunion worthy of applause-with both hands." -Publishers Weekly "It's a ridiculous and bizarre concept, but also filled with a lot of heart." -School Library Journal "Fresh and quirky tale about the bumps that occur even in the best of friendships." -The Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books Award A Junior Library Guild Selection 2013 Parents' Choice Award - Recommended

Autorenporträt
Ross Macdonald was a pseudonym for Kenneth Millar (1915-1983), an author of detective fiction best known for creating the character of Lew Archer, a California PI. Born in California, Millar lived in Ontario, Canada, until his father abandoned his mother, uprooting the family and forcing them to move again and again over the next few years-a formative experience that would often be echoed in Millar's work. While attending the University of Michigan, Millar began writing pulp fiction, publishing his first novel, The Dark Tunnel, in 1944.
Millar introduced Lew Archer, the tough-but-sensitive private detective, in the 1946 short story "Find the Woman." The Moving Target (1949) was the first of more than a dozen Lew Archer novels, which established Millar as one of the finest crime novelists of his day. He is often included in the "holy trinity of detective fiction," along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
