"A gentle, affectionate take on familiar middle-grade issues and
the joys of reading."
--Kirkus "Tender . . . Cheng credibly portrays Anna's budding
maturity."
--Publishers Weekly
"Cheng's telling is as straightforward yet sympathetic as her
self-contained main character; and Halpin's often lighthearted
pencil-and-wash sketches both decorate and enrich this perceptive
novel."
--Horn Book
"Readers are led to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary,
and to witness how kindness can draw trust and create confidence in
a hesitant child."
--School Library Journal "This is a remarkably pithy and nuanced
portrait of a fourth-grader and her world, and the streamlined
simplicity of Cheng's writing and the brief page count make it
accessible."
--Bulletin "The Year of the Book was a pleasure to read and more.
This is a novel to treasure and share with every middle-grade
reader you know."
--New York Times Book --
