Reviews
“In her quest, [Allie] discovers not only the truth of Jimmy’s death, but also difficult truths about her own life. Having spent years building up defenses, Allie faces reality with grace and in a way that will appeal to readers. The unexpected twists and turns of the plot as she finds out what home and family really are make this coming-of-age novel a strong first offering for young adults.” ―School Library Journal
“Humor and suspense fill the pages. Allie is an unforgettable, real character. Teenage girls will identify with her smart mouth and lack of self-esteem. This is a definite pageturner for teens.” ―The Book Report
