Reviews
Yee offers another empathetic portrayal of an outsider with unique attributes in this story about seventh-grader Marley Sandelski, an admitted geek, who loves Star Trek, old movies, and his Technical Sciences class Featuring appearances from some of Yee's previous heroes and heroines--Millicent Min, Stanford Wong, and Emily Ebers--this slice-of-life novel focuses on themes that will likely hit home with readers [Marley s] internal conflicts and emotions ring true. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Yee s combination of humor and sympathy works a charm here, giving Marley a life of his own and a chance at success in this solid addition to her prismatic look at middle school. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Fans of Yee s Millie Trilly will be thrilled with this spin-off. Yee admirably keeps the topic of bullying a realistically complicated one. Like the earlier books, this one truly stands alone, but reading them all and finding the many connections is too good a treat to pass up. -- <i>Horn Book</i> Once again, the author addresses a serious issue with a light touch. An entertaining read and a solid example of bibliotherapy. -- <i>School Library Journal</i>
