«Readers familiar with Wynne-Jones’ previous short-story collections … will come to this one expecting originality, wit, and humanity. They’ll find all that and more in these often surprising, always rewarding stories.»

Booklist

«With a nostalgic, wholesome feel, these stories offer tales of quiet courage.»

Publisher's Weekly

«Clever dialogue and genuine, messy relationships among kids and their parents and friends as well as with older relatives who are dealing with dementia will ring true for readers who share these experiences… An intelligent, emotionally resonant collection.»

Kirkus Reviews

«Varied, funny, and often very touching, this is a fine collection, perfect for reading aloud.»

Horn Book

«A delightful collection of stories from one of Canada’s best writers for children and teens. It’s full of Wynne-Jones’s wonderful sense of humour and ability to make characters come to life.»
