Readers will appreciate that Trace’s project is ultimately a success, whether it’s truly academic or emotional, but the journey is an important one.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Cummings marries a chillingly gothic tone to the palpable realism of Trace’s reluctant therapy sessions, new-kid awkwardness, and mourning. “In her middle grade debut, Cummings (the Harvey Moon picture books) follows Trace’s progress as he begins to absolve himself from guilt about the accident, learn about his lineage, and understand his family’s position in history. “From its dramatic opening to its satisfying conclusion, this is an absorbing, multi-layered novel an excellent choice for all middle school collections.” - School Library Journal (starred review)
