Industry Reviews "[T]he straight-forward text, packed with daily details, seems directly descended from Beverly Cleary's works. A fresh, winsome heroine learns a lesson about facing her fears in this first of an anticipated series." (05/15/2008)
"Julia Gillian isn't the perky, smart-mouthed heroine one finds in many contemporary books. Instead, she is acutely conscious of achieving a new maturity that allows her to question the authority and to assert herself--not bad for a nine-year-old." (07/01/2008)
