“Colorful, quirky, and full of heart, with an ending readers won’t
forget.”
*Ingrid Law, Newbery Honor-winning author of Savvy, Scumble, and
Switch*
"A whimsical, heartwarming, multilayered story about finding grace
enough to accept the flaws in those we love and courage enough to
act from our most deeply held beliefs."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"This moving and emotional coming-of-age story tackles themes of
racism, friendship, and growing up. . . . An absorbing work of
historical fiction."
*School Library Journal*
"Best for readers who like a wealth of plot and southern setting,
as in Sheila Turnage’s Three Times Lucky (2012)."
*Booklist Online*
"This is a beautifully written book that will tug at the heart
strings of readers. The writing is lyrical and rich with
imagery...This is a worthwhile addition to library shelves."
