“Kelly deftly captures the tumultuous emotions of a preteen who is forced to grow up faster than other girls her age.” - Kirkus Reviews
A family facing dire circumstances held together with a fragile hope of survival. This story, from four different points of view, resonates with middle schoolers who feel like outsiders and all of us who are still waiting to grow up.
“[An] enchanting plot propelled by delightful narration. This book will appeal to a broad array of readers, as it has a little bit of everything-fantasy, realism, sisterhood, friendship, suspense, and humor. A charming and affecting novel about sisterhood, the magic of imagination, and perseverance.” - School Library Journal (starred review)
