Reviews

""The multiple narratives move the story far beyond case history, the chatty interview format is highly readable, and Cameron's voice is pitch-perfect."" - ALA Booklist (starred review) ""Myers is superb in his refusal to grant any of his players full possession of the truth. This title will make an outstanding catalyst for discussion of questions about ethics, loyalty, judgment, authority, and bias."" - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
