Book SynopsisTrade Review“[T]his quiet book reveals the capacity for good within the characters…and leaves readers with a sense of empathy and understanding about the importance of self-confidence.” —School Library Journal (starred review) “This tightly written chapter book has just the right amount of pathos for middle-grade readers.” —Kirkus Reviews “Van Leeuwen avoids a happy ending that would ring false with the novel’s unstinting realism, but Weezie’s newfound strength and her growing understanding of the murkiness of life and love make for a satisfying finish.” —Publishers Weekly “Readers drawn by Weezie’s matter-of-fact narrative will come away admiring her resilience and grit…” —Booklist
