Reviews
An #OwnVoices story about identity in the face of a mental illness, honesty to self and others, and delayed grief, that takes readers on both a literal and internal journey. --ALA Booklist Garvin uses his knowledge of magic and personal experience with bipolarism to add insight to this dramatic story as he skillfully evokes the traveling performers' gritty lifestyle and the enticement of illusion. --Publishers Weekly Garvin's portrayal of Ellie's bipolar experience is exceptional; the world of magic is also superbly rendered. --Kirkus Reviews An important, moving portrayal of the way mental illness affects the life of a teenage girl; a worthy addition to any library. --School Library Journal (starred review)
