Reviews
"Jonah is an appealing her with believable motivations, a loving but beleaguered mother, and a refreshingly sassy friend in Blister. Readers will be pleased with an ending that cleverly combines wish fulfillment and reality." --Booklist "Shreve's understatement and restraint lend a solidity to the kid-success story that such plots rarely possess. The book is pleasantly unpuritanical in its implication that Jonah's tendency to tell tales is part of his ability to dream that leads to his achievement, and the development of his relationsip with Blister from default to genuine friendship is subtly depicted." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Susan Shreve writes with snap and verve; it's a treat to see a young her so ably making lemonade out of an acid bath." --The New York Times Book Review "Middle schoolers, especially those feeling a bit out of step, will cheer when Jonah actually pulls off this nearly impossible feat, lining up Michael Jordan and some child celebrities as interview subjects. Shreve's strong characters, convincing dialogue and soothing dose of fantasy fulfillment will likely have readers casting votes for the return of Jonah as well." --Publishers Weekly
