Reviews
"The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability. This novel adds a middle-grade perspective to the literature of imaginary friends and paints a convincing and compassionate portrait of a social class--the working poor--underrepresented in children's books." -- The Horn Book, starred review, "The tone is warm and, occasionally, quirkily funny, but it doesn't sugarcoat the effects of hunger and vulnerability.

- w***w (120)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy fault for not seeing the hand writing in the picture but I had read the “very good” description and did not think there would be writing with that description but again, my mistake. It was for a gift so I guess I will keep it now. A little bent up from the shipping I am assuming. I would suggest a little firmer packaging on a paperback book. Really cute book though!One Lucky Duck (#313347363708)
