Review:
“Junebug is the story of risks taken and goals achieved by a small nuclear family struggling against a harsh environment. The ultimate message, however, is that change is possible when responsibility is an individual obligation. Mead’s writing approaches the power of Walter Dean Myers’s novels about inner-city life, but is for a younger audience.”—"School Library Journal"
“Junebug is a compelling, thoughtful narrator whose wishes and determination are balanced by Jolita’s absence of dreams and character. The novel is hard-hitting and unleavened by humor, but Junebug’s likable personality and the upbeat note at the end will leave readers satisfied. A likely choice for school literature circles.”—"Booklist" “A warm and inspiring tale . . . Readers will be rooting for Junebug and his dreams all the way.”—"Kirkus Reviews", Pointer Review
