Industry Reviews
"The complex, well-drawn characters of Michael and his mother convey the psychological effects of abuse with insight and compassion...As she did in BREATHING UNDERWATER, Flinn does a masterful job of exploring domestic violence, conveying that it's prevalent among all economic classes and destructive wherever it takes hold."
Kirkus (02/15/2004)
"This is an absorbing read as well as a thoughtful exploration of issues of responsibility, maturity, and independence, and readers will appreciate seeing a tough topic taken beyond melodrama."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (03/01/2004)
