Reviews

2015 Top Ten Sports Books for Youth, Booklist


"Some teens may find Biggie's attitutude off-putting. In the end, however, Biggie redeems himself by realizing that he just might be the villain of the story. This novel is well written and fairly quick-paced."--School Library Journal


"Venturing beyond the typical boy-seeks-girl story, this filters the agonies of adolescence through a largely unvoiced perspective with an honesty readers will appreciate."--Booklist


"Thoughtful and witty, Biggie tells a story full of physical and emotional highs and lows as debut author Sullivan empathetically addresses topics of self-esteem and finding healthier, happier versions of oneself (and what that even means)."--Publishers Weekly


"Biggie's story will resonate with all those students who feel invisible and alone. A bighearted story that will have readers rooting for Henry 'Biggie' Abbott."--Kirkus Reviews


"Biggie's road to enlightenment is by turns hilarious and devastating, and although he doesn't end up with ripped abs, sports-page headlines, or the girl of his dreams, he does get a life--and despite his self-deluded protestations, that's exactly what he wanted."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books


"Biggie is an enjoyable underdog-makes-good story that will especially appeal to baseball fans."--VOYA
