Reviews...

Kirkus (08/15/2005)
"Written with humor and modest bits of philosophy, the writing sparkles with inventive, often dazzling metaphors. A tenderly existential work that will reward more thoughtful readers in this age of ubiquitous action saga."
School Library Journal (09/01/2005)
"Young teens will certainly relate to the self-consciousness and uncertainty of all the characters, each of whom is straining toward clarity and awareness. The book is profusely illustrated with Perkins`s amusing drawings...."
Booklist (10/15/2005)
"Best of all are the understated moments, often private and piercing in their authenticity, that capture intelligent, likable teens searching for signs of who they are, and who they`ll become."
Publishers Weekly (10/31/2005)
"Part love story, part coming-of-age tale, this book artfully expresses universal emotions of adolescence."
