Critical Praise

"Perfectly constructed and beautifully written."

—The Dallas News

"A feisty little heroine who often seems equal parts Huck Finn, Eloise, and... well, maybe Shakespeare's Beatrice-to-be... At once witty, tender, funny, touching, and, by the end, tragic in a way that perfectly brings all to a close, if never to an end. Bound for success, or else the world has gone mad."

—Kirkus Reviews

"This is one of those novels in which the quality of the writing lulls a reader... the way beauty does in real life."

—Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Suspenseful and moving."

—The New York Times
