What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Readers will laugh out loud and be moved to tears as Tiffany proves to be the Shining Star Mimi always said she was. A fresh, heartwarming take on self-acceptance and true friends. Huzzah!” – Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Vividly wrought characters–especially Tiffany’s gaming counterparts and her nonagenarian pals at Sunny Vistas Assisted Living–and the protagonist’s dryly comic voice contribute to this charming novel’s exploration of gifts and friendships.” –Publishers Weekly, starred Review
Praise for The Double Life of Danny Day:
“The Double Life of Danny Day starts with a clever premise that builds into an entertaining story. You may feel tempted to read it twice!” –Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven and Dragonwatch
“It’s a riveting premise and a cool spotlight on the social world of videogames, and readers will consider their double days with Danny to be time well spent.” – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (BCCB)
“In a clever time-loop tale reminiscent of Groundhog Day, a middle-schooler gets free do-overs by living through each day twice…After engaging in some awesomely reckless exploits (on the discard days), Danny at last takes on, with two new allies, a taunting, bullying gamer who, readers will readily agree, really deserves the schooling he gets.” – Booklist
“Danny’s first-person narrative engages readers with wisecracking humor and sharp observations on the middle school social stratum…. Perfect for gamers who’d rather play than read, Thayer speaks their language and scores a direct hit.” – School Library Journal
