Reviews
"Dexter, a sympathetic and believable character, may help others come to grips with their demons."--Kirkus Reviews
"A thoughtful choice for reading aloud."--Booklist
"Haddix does an excellent job of capturing the voice of a fourth-grade boy. Dexter is a multifaceted character who thinks about his actions and emotions like a smart, confused kid, never like an adult. Occasional full-page drawings nicely portray the actions and feelings of the characters in this easy chapter book."--School Library Journal
