Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Lawlor provides an excellent reading of the tale, coming across with a solid, clear middle-American voice that fits the story perfectly.” —Booklist
“Hite’s rich language is rewardingly easy to follow...A solid, humorously enjoyable blend of fact and fish story.” —School Library Journal
“Hite offers a most unusual fish story with much to say about friends and community…A likable protagonist, a mystery, a romance…and a boy intent on life well-lived are the elements sure to hook many readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The search for identity and purpose in life is poignantly presented in this sweet, feel-good little story…Lawlor has the perfect voice to read this, as he exudes youth, innocence, and earnestness.” —Kliatt
“The tone of this book is unique; it reads like a fairy tale in some parts, yet it is always grounded in reality. A truly refreshing look at adoption and how it affects children.” —Children’s Literature
