Review
* "This is a refreshingly well-written encounter with richly developed and well-defined characters whom readers won't soon forget."--School Library Journal, STAR
* ..".strong narration and the child's struggle with forgiveness make for poignant, aching drama."--Booklist, starred review
* "Tobin's own blossoming, through friendship, and the rediscovery of his family, and the love for and of his chickens, is entirely satisfying--just right."--Kirkus Reviews, STAR
