Readers across the board will flock to this book that has something for nearly everyone—humor, bullying, self-acceptance, cross-generational relationships, and a smartly fateful ending.
Kelly's nuanced, resonating story about life between two cultures, surviving loss, and finding family in the least expected places is ideal for any quality middle grade collection; extra points for superb multicultural representation as well. ["A charming and affecting novel about sisterhood, the magic of imagination, and perseverance" SLJ 12/15 starred review of the Greenwillow book.]
