Review:

‘Shriver is a lively storyteller, and she keeps readers guessing to the end. . . . Checker and the Derailleurs, like its beguiling protagonist, is hard to forget’ People Magazine

‘Checker triumphant is the key, a boy so radiant that his creator (she wrote The Female of the Species) has fallen in love with him. And so has the reader’ Publisher’s Weekly

‘Funny, clever, and touching’ Library Journal
