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

"Suspenseful and moving."

—The New York Times

"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
