Reviews
“In this sequel to Lost Goat Lane (2004), the endearing Martin family returns with the focus on 14-year-old Justin…The goatnappers’ amusing antics and Justin’s challenging choices make this a good read for middle-graders.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“The honest family drama is woven together with the neighborhood story, as the kids on the block, teens and younger, join together to rescue a beloved baby goat from an abusive owner… The animal cruelty issues will draw readers, and so will the friendships across race, gender, and age that show the meaning of community.” ―Booklist
“The well-defined characters will keep readers engaged, and Jordan skillfully handles the moral issue of whether breaking the law is ever the right thing to do.” ―School Library Journal
Awards
