Review:

★ “Cottrell Boyce invites readers to suspend belief while going on a physics-defying, mind-bending adventure that’s sure to appeal to a wide audience. Begging to be read aloud and full of escapades, humor, and spunk, this is a stand-alone gem.” (School Library Journal (starred review))

★ “A raucous adventure with a heart of gold.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“A funny and touching story about a boy who, through a transformative summer, learns to expand his definitions of family and home.” (Publishers Weekly)
