Reviews
"What distinguishes this story is Acampora's light touch with a weighty subject--this is a very funny book." --ReadKiddoRead.com
"Fans of small-town color and happy endings will take heart in this ultimately hopeful tale." --BCCB "Quirky characters, small-town hominess, and frequent touches of humor create a Joan Bauer feel with cross-gender appeal." --SLJ "An outstanding, humane coming-of-age tale of loss, yearning and forgiveness." --Kirkus Reviews "Acampora's light touch with weighty issues makes for a highly appealing read--readers will want to spend more time with these well-crafted and complex characters." --Publishers Weekly
