"Sincere, unpretentious, and sometimes witty, Allie’s first- person narrative will have broad appeal for the many kids who feel like outsiders at school, as well as those who are navigating the sometimes choppy waters of friendship." –Booklist   "Allie makes mistakes but takes things in stride; her cleareyed, first-person narration makes the story, and she's very easy to sympathize with . . .Readers will feel they'd be lucky to have Allie as their best friend." –Kirkus   "Give to elementary-age readers looking for gentle realism." –SLJ   "...Readers who’ve ever pondered what goes on in the school building when students are not around may enjoy a sympathetic look at the kids who remain in lockdown after the dismissal bell rings." –Bulletin —
