Kirkus Review raves:
"It's a dark story about a dark world, but Skomal makes the story readable and lovely via her prose. A haunting reminder about the loss of innocence."
Readers' Views claims: "WOW! I highly recommend this book for middle school and older. This is one you won't want to miss. This book blew me away."
San Francisco Book Review boasts: "Skomal rises to the level of found poetry. She has potential to be a first-rank novelist. I think you will enjoy getting in on the start of her career, in advance of the parade."
