Reviews

"The ending is bittersweet but as satisfying as a two-box-of-tissues tearjerker can possibly be (in the realm of juvenile fiction, Schmidt is the master of the emotional gut-punch)." -- Horn Book Magazine"Told in Jack's spare, direct first-person voice, this story's style demonstrates the beautify of simplicity as it delineates the lives of its characters, each as superbly realized as the tumultuous New England setting." -- Booklist (starred review)"The matter-of-fact narrative voice ensures that the tragic plot never overhwlms this wrenching tale of growth and loss." -- School Library Journal (starred review)"A powerful story about second chances, all the more devastating because not everyone gets one." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)#9 Autumn 2015 -- Kids' Indie Next list
