Trade ReviewEasy-to-read slice-of-life action . . . Maggie is a likable main character . . . and her anxiety about school is well portrayed, while Hicks's black and white art is sharp and comically expressive. * Publishers Weekly *
Fun for kids who can appreciate stories about teen angst that do not wallow in depression or self-loathing. * Children's Literature *
Hicks excels at depicting adolescent emotion and the way feelings ricochet off the actions and reactions of others, each teenager suffering a constant and confusing onslaught of hurt and acceptance, infatuation and rejection, loneliness and relief. . .She also shows flashes of clever humor. . .But what mostly emerges is a fundamentally sweet and sensitive story, one with a rare, genuine-feeling portrait of loving sibling relations. * The New York Times *
