Review Quotes
"The lively, first-person narrative moves readers through possibly banal or overly traumatic episodes with a gentleness and humor that has them rooting for Camille. This book about friendship and loss kindly teaches that life is pretty much what one is willing to make of it." --School Library Journal, starred review "Camille's a survivor, 'born with the power to bounce back, ' which she does with surprising panache and hope in this touching debut." --Kirkus Reviews "Middle-grade readers will enjoy the insider's viewpoint, the blend of farce and sorrow, and the ending, which brings no neat resolution, just a yearning for a world that feels 'a little more fair.'" --Booklist "Readers will enjoy the many antics that occur throughout this story. . . . This is an excellent book that can be used to engage reluctant readers." --Children's Literature
