Terrifically entertaining.""—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ""True to form, Horvath packs this sequel . . . with relatable incident, vivid dialogue, humor, and moments of profound reflection on the human condition.""—The Horn Book ""Through steady, sober prose and the protagonists’ complex relationships, Horvath creates successfully strained situations, giving way to gratifying resolutions that offer a comforting reassurance that bad times don’t last forever.""—Publishers Weekly ""A cozy read for fans of The Vanderbeekers and The Penderwicks . . .""—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books ""Horvath's prose is smooth and engaging (she excels at both comedy and pathos) and always respects children's inner lives.
