What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In this funny, fresh take on a day gone wrong, Van Draanen and Li are sympathetic to their protagonist’s travails, presenting readers with the opportunity to see in resilient Leda—and themselves—that whatever gravity may throw down, they’ll rise above it.” —Publishers Weekly“This cheerful tale uses Leda’s case of the clumsies to introduce the concept of gravity. An engaging flight of imagination, grounded in fact.” —Kirkus Reviews“A perfect read for a day when everything feels wildly imperfect, this offers a stealthy combination of science and social/emotional learning.” — Bulletin“Van Draanen presents a fun exploration of gravity by making the science lesson engaging and accessible. And most everyone can relate to Leda and her clumsy day!” —School Library Journal
