Industry Reviews"Myers writes an aching, poetic sadness into his character's voices that humanizes a cast of characters that might easily have become cautionary ciphers. There is no bravado here, no easy answers, only the hard work of doing the right thing in a place where, to paraphrase Spoon, easy doesn't live anymore."Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Karen Coats (01/01/2004)eBay Product ID: EPID2455669
