Reviews

It is outrageous that someone as young, beautiful and - goddamit - as happy looking as Sofie Laguna has written this wee beauty of a novel... As a "domestic" novel, it could be cliched, but Laguna, through Jimmy's wonderful eyes, makes every sentence, every word, sing and soar.
*Irish Times*

A book that crosses the boundaries of adult and YA fiction.
*Guardian*

Quite an achievement... It is quite a feat to write characters with such nuance... Laguna is an author proving the novel is a crucial document of the times.
*The Weekend Australian*

Harrowing, beautifully written, insightful and absorbing... Unique, forceful and absolutely hypnotic... Fresh, honest writing.
*Canberra Times*

A beautiful, sombre style, relieved by occasional happy-go-lucky moments and strangely surprising resilience... Laguna has vividly brought to life what it must be like to be a different child and the effect his condition can have on a family.
*Sydney Morning Herald*

Jimmy is a tour de force of a character, brilliantly maintained... Laguna's great skill is in conveying the contradictory human depths in all her characters.
*Adelaide Advertiser*

A book that intrigues and affects every essence of your humanity... A dark and terrible tale told in lyrical, poetic language and stark imagery.
*Australian Bookseller and Publisher*

Laguna's child narrator both emphasises and conceals, through simple yet articulate images, the complicated extent of suffering and release.
*Guardian on One Foot Wrong*

An extraordinary achievement. Hester's voice is original and compelling...compels us to see our familiar world as new and intriguing - no small feat.
*Big Issue on One Foot Wrong*
