"Frizzell develops his major and minor characters equally well; each is unique and authentic... a good read for all teens, especially for the less popular and the artistically inclined...one of the better Orca Soundings"

Reviews

Globe and Mail - March 31, 2007
"Frizzell's prose is engaging and well crafted. A reader can't help but connect with J; she's witty and engaging, despite her hurt and rebellion."

Voya - April 1, 2007
"The novel has some great dialogue and descriptions...middle school girls will enjoy the short chapters, continuous wordplay and happy endings."

Kliatt - March 1, 2007
"J is a force to be reckoned with...girls will enjoy [her] spunky personality and her unwillingness to give in to the emotions that rip through her."

CM Magazine - March 1, 2007
"unique in voice and setting, and there is an unabashed emotional truth to J that resonates throughout and keeps one turning the pages. Recommended."

School Library Journal - March 1, 2007
"The teen's (J's) engaging voice is full of sarcasm, dry wit and angst while her aunt's voice is ethereal and soothing."
