About this title

Review:

..".McKinnon (Franny Parker) has created a cast of believably imperfect characters, and Lace's emotions ring true, especially when she finally travels to Portland to see Marni." --Publishers Weekly

..".Lacey is a consistently sympathetic character throughout. Readers will doubtless take to her like ducks to water." --Booklist

"It's a heartfelt tale about individual identity, sisterly closeness, and working through fear that even the siblingless will find touching." --BCCB

"Vibrant, descriptive prose and characters that are strong, original, and often comic save an emotional topic from becoming mawkish. Lace's grief feels real, and the account of her family's strength inspires. The story overall is surprisingly uplifting, and worth recommending to anyone interested in family dynamics and complex emotions." --School Library Journal
