Rezensionen
"[Budhos] portrays with nuance the ways multiracial identities, socio-economic status, microaggressions, and interracial relationships can impact and shape identity. Readers will find a powerful window into the past and, unfortunately, a way-too-accurate mirror of the present." Kirkus Reviews, Starred

"[A] compassionate and thoughtful depiction of families grappling daily with the inequities of a changing society." Publishers Weekly

Gracefully balances the surrounding complex issues of race, class, and equity, without losing focus on the small moments (nascent crushes, perfect outfits) that dominate the lives of her young protagonists. Booklist

A layered look at desegregation through the eyes of various characters along the color spectrum, demonstrating that things are not always black and white; it s also a sharp take on the majority s getting a glimpse of what it s like to feel like an outsider. Bulletin

This engaging novel serves as a gateway for readers to learn about the issues of desegregation busing plans in the U.S. and the influence of various adults, and government decisions, in multiracial childhoods. The Horn Book
