Reviews
"The fast-paced story includes social-issue themes, including bullying, mental health, and gun violence. Ortu's crisp illustrations individuate Cholette's diverse cast of characters and enhance her storytelling. Young readers will find this a (pun intended) breathtaking, page-turning read."--starred, Booklist
