'Really very good indeed...'

Andrea Reece

'The collection is quirky and funny and offers a lot to think about'

"Asquith pens whimsical poems that respect children of every ilk....The few poems about poetry itself are particularly rich in wordplay."

(Booklist)

"This book encapsulates the life of a middle schooler through rhyme and verse.... the works in this collection will surely find a place in the hearts of those who endeavor to read them."

(School Library Connection, Highly Recommended)

"An additional purchase for large collections looking to expand their poetry selection."

(School Library Journal)
