Reviews
"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, "The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability.

    My fault for not seeing the hand writing in the picture but I had read the “very good” description and did not think there would be writing with that description but again, my mistake. It was for a gift so I guess I will keep it now. A little bent up from the shipping I am assuming. I would suggest a little firmer packaging on a paperback book. Really cute book though!
