"I absolutely loved the book...That is the first chapter book that I finished the day after I got it." KidsReads.com

"An unusually compelling narrator. Tweens will identify with the conflict between her little-girl and cool-teenager selves as well as with the intense ups and downs of her relationship with her older brother...Cassie's presence, and her absence, will leave young readers thinking hard about what it means to be a friend." The Horn Book Magazine

"Hickey's debut book captures the shaky essence of what it's like for an 11-year-old to be shy and desperately lonely in a new town...Bree's spunk and quirky behavior will endear her to even the most rooted of readers." Publishers Weekly
