Recensione:

“Sophie is a quietly luminous heroine, and readers will rejoice in her voyage.” (The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review))

“Like Creech’s Walk Two Moons and Chasing Redbird, this intimate novel poetically connects journey with self–discovery. (Publisher's Weekly, starred review)

“A beautifully written and imaginatively constructed novel that speaks to the power of survival and the delicacy of grief.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
