Reviews

"Readers will cheer for spunky Sam..." --Booklist "An appealing, goodhearted story for all young people yearning to march to the beat of their own drums. " --Horn Book "This is a worthy and entertaining read about how talent develops and what the potential consequences of pursuing it are: drumroll, please, for a fine homage to spirited single-mindedness." --Kirkus "A great read for middle graders with their own obsessions and dreams." --School Library Journal "Sweet and humorous with a main character you will root for like crazy."--Randy Ribay, author of An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes --
