“Startlingly original . . . A poignant and beautifully wrought portrait of a young girl's growth.” —Johanna Stoberock, The Seattle Times

“Really comic, really tragic, bracingly unsentimental . . . What a triumph! What joy!” —The Boston Sunday Globe

“An effervescent, affecting delight.” —Rebecca Radner, The San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
