* ""A touching story of hope and resilience. . . . Powerful.""-- ""--School Library Journal, starred review"" * ""Forman is a master of the slow, heart-wrenching reveal . . . those who stick with this story will be richly rewarded."" -- ""--Booklist, starred review"" * ""Powerful, heartbreaking, and hopeful."" -- ""--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"" * ""This tale of intergenerational friendship forged through a shared understanding of loss by Forman (Frankie and Bug) is told with spellbinding grace and wrought with exquisite structuring that quietly highlights the heartrending parallels between Josey's WWII remembrances and Alex's current struggles.""-- ""--Publishers Weekly, starred review"" ""Forman crafts a unique story, told in the voice of a wiser, older character; everything feels close and personal, from Alex's present to Jozef's past. She captures the quietly powerful moments of feeling seen and known, how friendships can make a bleak life feel fresh with possibilities, and how a person's worst moments need not shape their future.""-- ""--The Horn Book""
