Industry Reviews "Dramatically lit and featuring comically exaggerated characters...Berkeley's b&w artwork augments the story's drama and humor. A moving tale about the beauty of imperfections and the capacity for love." (07/20/2009)
"Black-and-white and full-color illustrations, done in the award-winning author's familiar style, are sprinkled throughout, adding depth to an already engaging and well-paced tale." (11/01/2009)
