Critics Review
“Gennari realistically and sensitively explores tough topics including censorship and grief…Poignant and insightful.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Stifled by Jennifer Gennari is a thought-provoking story of shifting friendships, loss, intergenerational love, and boldly finding yourself. Readers will root for Madge as she shares her voice, her heart, and music to stand up for what she truly believes in.” —Elly Swartz, author of Same Page
“This timely and honest novel hits all the right notes. Madge’s struggle with self-doubt and changing friendships will strongly resonate with readers. Gennari beautifully weaves together so many chords to show the highs and lows of transitioning to middle school.” —Lisa Moore Ramée, author of A Good Kind of Trouble
