"By blending queer joy with thoughtful ruminations on change and tradition, and interweaving classic coming-of-age angst with broader social themes, Gros celebrates self-discovery and resilience, making for a richly textured graphic novel." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)"An engaging coming-of-age story where not only does the tween protagonist learn about herself but she also gets to share lessons about courage and taking risks to help others with the adults in her life." — Booklist"This heartwarming graphic novel delves into themes of identity, belonging, and courage. Gros’s illustrations capture the story’s timeless charm. Perfect for fans of Kayla Miller, this is a must-have for libraries serving upper elementary and middle school readers." — School Library Journal
