Critics Review
McDonald keeps readers laughing with all the antics while expertly folding in Shakespeare references and double entendres in her now-familiar combination of journal-style entries from Joey’s perspective, play scenes outlining Alex’s viewpoint and an overall narrative told in Stevie’s glib voice
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Stevie’s first-person narrative is interspersed with entries from frog-fan Joey and aspiring actress Alex, lending depth and intimacy to this lively, amusing read. Readers will recognize the girls’ stresses and successes as they navigate the mysteries of boys and growing up.
—Booklist
Uses weather, frogs, and Romeo and Juliet as the backdrop to a story focused on the sweeter side of sisterhood. Dialogue and situations will ring true for both new readers and fans
—School Library Journal
Breezy and light-hearted, this makes a nice recommendation for young readers looking for girl power.
—Bulletin of the Center of Children’s Books
Cleverly gives each character a distinctive voice. Stevie narrates the story, while Alex contributes in script format, complete with stage directions. And Joey adds journal tidbits, miscellaneous facts, and humor on lined paper with doodles.
