Williams' story of a twelve-year-old girl fighting to maintain her family connections is sprinkled with a gentle dose of magical realism that is both real and magical. -- Chris Crowe, award-winning author of Getting Away with Murder Libby is a likable character who is a vital part of healing her father's enormous grief as well as her own. Though the story, set in Florida in 1967, is about death and grieving, Williams presents these themes in a sweet and positive light with a focus on family and healing. Verdict: A good read for historical assignments and short enough that it may be an attraction for reluctant readers. -- Library Journal
