Critical Reviews
"Spinelli, the accomplished author of Maniac Magee and many other books for YAs, has a knack for creating offbeat characters readers will root for, and all the characters in this novel will win your heart. What at first seems like a love story between Will and Mi-Su turns into something different as Will realizes the depth of his feelings for his sister. A deeply affecting story." - KLIATT
"Middle school boys and girls, as well as the reluctant reader, will enjoy this fun and easy read." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Spinelli employs a fresh voice and honest perspective to mine the prickly intersections of family, friendship, and growing up, with emotionally resonant results." - ALA Booklist
"Stargirl would approve." - Kirkus Reviews
