Su questo libro

Recensione:

★ “Spinelli adroitly balances emotional tension with introspective moments in this smart and funny story.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent...Nobody is better than Spinelli when it comes to creating the grade-school world of qualified innocence—and treading a fine line between challenge and reassurance.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Each character is portrayed with emotional subtlety and conviction, while their juxtaposed viewpoints bring the energy of opposing forces to the story.” (Booklist)

“Double the feelings, double the fun.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Spinelli’s hallmark issues—individuality, nonconformity, alienation, standing up for the little guy—figure prominently, and the messages are convincingly worked into the story.” (Horn Book Magazine)
