Critics Review
Pie in the Sky is like enjoying a decadent cake… heartwarming and rib-tickling
Pie in the Sky is like enjoying a decadent cake… heartwarming and rib-tickling * Terri Libenson, bestselling author of Invisible Emmie *
The humor [is] akin to that of Jeff Kinney’s popular “Wimpy Kid” series … the perfect mixture of funny and emotionally resonant. * School Library Journal, starred review *
A delectable page-turner… Heartbreakingly honest; in equal parts funny and poignant. * Horn Book, starred review *
Fly on the Wall is a book that models self-examination, apology and graceful endings to friendships that have run their course. It’s perfect for readers aged 8–12 who enjoyed all of the obvious comparisons. It is also, in many ways, easy to recommend over them * Books and Publishing *
Diverse voices like Remy’s contribute powerful and important stories to the literary world … It is a powerful and funny story about being a kid, and the challenges that come with it. A wonderful #OwnVoices story that all will enjoy. * The Book Muse *
