Reviews

Praise for Switch:


“Along with turning her increasingly self-confident protagonist's fondness for spontaneous twirling into a thematic leitmotif, [Law] salts the narrative with wonderfully silly words and the cast with helpful, warmhearted allies.”—Kirkus Reviews
 
“Much like authors Deborah Wiles or Patricia Reilly Giff, Law contrasts warm family support with personal despair and hardship, nicely balancing her dramatic action with stability and optimism… Law has again told a story with as much heart as creativity.”—School Library Journal
 
“Law tenderly handles the challenges of having a grandparent with Alzheimer’s, highlighting the power of familial love…Readers will be caught up in this snowy, magical adventure and the characters’ efforts to balance their true, sparkly selves with growing up.”—Booklist
 
“Eccentricity abounds, with vibrant supporting characters…Gypsy carries on the family traditions with aplomb.”—Horn Book
