Critics Review
“Cathartic proof that childhood provides lessons for a lifetime and that change is possible.” –Kirkus, starred review
“Harper makes it clear that despite the angst, Charise and Daniel have an unbreakable bond, and she deftly conveys the sibling dynamic: One minute the two are squabbling, the next they’re secretly finding a way to communicate through the walls after bedtime.” –School Library Journal, starred review
“Raw emotions of guilt, shame, and jealousy are explored, as young Charise interrogates the power dynamics of big sisterhood and recognizes Daniel’s strengths.”–Book Horn Magazine, starred review
”[…] The story takes a resonant dive into the insular world of children, especially siblings.” –Publishers Weekly
