Recensione:
'This idiosyncratic short novel is full if information about New York and its landmarks, including Ground Zero' -- Sunday Times
'Filled with joy, sweet sadness, and a triumph of spirit. Lovely' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
'With delicate insight and humor, Fleming cleverly unites people - and goats - from vastly different walks of life in an offbeat celebration of courage and individuality' --Booklist (starred review)
'A lively yet tender story' -- Publishers Weekly
'The Goat takes a concept easiest told as zany and madcap, but instead wisely presents it as perfectly ordinary. If Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach made a kids' movie... this would certainly be their script' -- National Post
'At turns funny and affecting, this [is an] ingeniously knitted ensemble piece for 9- to 12-year-olds' -- Wall Street Journal
'Eccentricities abound, but so do charm and warm humor. Perfect for tweens who prefer quiet, character-driven novels and fans of E.L. Konigsburg' --School Library Journal
'This is a book with much to say; one that will leave the reader with a lot to think about... It celebrates the healing power of friendship. It is, very movingly, about loss. But most of all it says that life is wonderful and goes on despite its many setbacks and tragedies' --Magic Fiction Since Potter (blog)
