Book SynopsisTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "Riddiough has lovingly crafted a group of fully realized animal characters—even a fish—as well as three sometimes-mystifying humans, all of whom share their hopes and tribulations and demonstrate that not all happy families look alike. . .This gentle effort will leave engaged readers purring contentedly." * Kirkus Reviews *
Riddiough’s debut doesn’t shy away from sadness or struggle, including a thoughtful discussion of 9/11, with the animal antics providing a lighter framework for tough topics. A playful and poignant exploration of family, in all its forms. * Booklist *
Readers will race to find out how everything ends, with character growth and plenty of failed escape attempts before the satisfying conclusion. * School Library Journal *
