Industry Reviews "The fast-paced dialogue is funny, smart, and right on target. Irresistible." Kirkus (05/01/2004)
"Characterizations of M.M. and her family are dead on; the chief delight here is found neither in the tight plotting nor in the highly competent wordcraft (though both are admirable) but rather in the surprising depth demonstrated by each character in this short, fast-paced novel." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Timnah Card (06/01/2004)
