Critics Review
“[A] propulsive, heartbreaking account of having to grow up too soon.”—People Magazine
“One of the most humorous, touching novels published this year.“—St. Paul Pioneer Press
“A wild ride.” —Minnesota Public Radio
“A witty, off-beat, and strangely charming look at just how far an eldest child will go to keep their younger siblings together. —School Library Journal
“Drew’s bitingly funny, smart, and deceptively vulnerable voice drives this contemporary fiction offering that delivers madcap comedy, a bit of a mystery, and an engaging family drama…. An often hilarious yet also poignant tale of sibling loyalty.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Zimmerman delivers a suspenseful novel about three siblings struggling to stay afloat after their mother’s death. The siblings’ enduring relationship provides a strong through line, while cinematic prose and Drew’s wry first-person voice convey both gruesome and darkly humorous descriptions of the trio’s efforts to stay together.” —Publishers Weekly
