Trade Review
"Thompson uses a cinematic lens in his compositions to create excitement—zooming in and out, changing angles—while bright colors heighten the frenetic tone and signal moments of strong emotion. Esbaum’s dialogue is a step or two beyond sight words, but when she uses less typical vocabulary (zigzag, quicksand, blubbering), she repeats it to reward readers for doing their decoding work." -- The Horn Book Magazine * 1/1/2023 *
