Critics Review
A Junior Library Guild Selection
“This heartfelt, emotionally insightful companion to To Tell You the Truth (2021) is … proof positive that an open heart can overcome hurt.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“It’s an equally rewarding and adventurous story, remarkable in the way it allows characters to stretch and grow… . A humorous and honest exploration of deep family ties, unexpected friendships, and the gift of growing self-knowledge.” * Booklist *
“The author takes care that no one, child or adult, comes across as all good or all bad. Readers don’t need to be familiar with the previous book to enjoy this story of a boy learning who he is. Recommended.” * School Library Journal *
