Reviews

“This fabulous book will give you rich discussions about her anger and how in that anger, she reacts without thinking.” 15 Banned Books Every Tween and Teen Should Read — Brightly

“The arrogant, bitter heroine of this moving story is a wisecracking, gum-chewing kid who has been shuttled from one foster home to another. . . . [She is portrayed] with warmth and wit, in a story filled with love and compassion.” — Children’s Book Review Service

“This perceptive story draws strength from its finely delineated characters and rich, moving narrative.” — Booklist
