Recensioner i media

“The speakers reveal their emotions with a painful honesty that’s profound, and the startling immediacy of the words gives these pieces even more impact. An obvious choice for reader’s theater and for use across the curriculum; its deeply affecting contents will also make compelling personal-interest reading.” — Booklist“This unique book rings with authenticity and resonates with power.” — School Library Journal“The emotional rhythms of the volume take on a credible ebb and flow. A number of moving moments.” — Publishers Weekly
