Reviews

"Erskine aptly conveys Lily’s inner struggle between her reserved demeanor and her desire to stand up to bullying. The metafiction appearance between chapters of 'Libro,' the voice of the physical book, adds humor and draws attention to the literary craft. Even the quietest readers will cheer."  — Kirkus Reviews"A well-told tale, with a clear understanding of bullying and empathy for all involved." — Booklist"Erskine effectively captures Lily’s struggles to find her voice. A touching novel that will leave readers cheering for Lily’s quiet victories." — Publishers Weekly“Curious kids who love books will enjoy joining this welcoming group of friends as they learn about the world we share.”  — School Library Journal
