I loved this book! It was a pleasure to follow Dagmar, a girl who knows how hard life can be, as she takes on all the challenges that come her way, with grit, intelligence and a not insignificant amount of rebelliousness. This hard-to-put-down adventure is fast-paced and will captivate young readers. --Marianne Malone, author of The Sixty-Eight Rooms Keir Graff doesn't miss! A smart, rambunctious romp with quirky twists, sharp social commentary, and a lot of heart. The tart, dryly witty Dagmar is a perfect foil for this engaging cast of weirdos, creeps, and rebels. Perfect for anyone who wants to read about people breaking from the pack and going their own way. --James Kennedy, author of The Order of Odd-Fish Graff's signature, over-the-top plotting builds to a thrilling climax. The whimsically drawn characters are good company . . . This smart, hilarious mashup of off-the-grid minimalism and smart-home consumerism adds up to a quirky treat. --Kirkus Reviews A compelling coming-of-age journey--sometimes carefree, sometimes emotional--of family, reconciliation, and finding yourself. --Booklist
