About this title

Review

"This accessible and moving novel demonstrates how the creative resilience of a child's mind can soften difficult situations, while exploring the intersection of imagination and truth." --"Publishers Weekly, starred review"

"Paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class--the working poor--underrepresented in children's books." --"The Horn Book, starred review"

This accessible and moving novel demonstrates how the creative resilience of a child's mind can soften difficult situations, while exploring the intersection of imagination and truth. "Publishers Weekly," starred review

The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability. This novel adds a middle-grade perspective to the literature of imaginary friends and paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class the working poor underrepresented in children's books. "The Horn Book," starred review"
