Critics Review
“Patricia Morrison does a great job creating a world that young readers will just fall into. The descriptions of Jules’ life are so realistic that I felt I was there sometimes. I was dragged into this small town in Canada … and I just wanted to know more about Jules, the Chapmans and the Adamsons. I wanted to see Jules succeed and find a happy life for herself with a family that loves her. I cheered for Jules the whole way through and I felt an immense sadness when she was sad or scared.” – The One with the Prettiest Views
