A book lover's book that speaks volumes about kids' power to effect change - Publishers Weekly Amy Anne's narrative is positively laced with real titles that have been banned or challenged and further enticing teasers for them...a stout defense of the right to read. - Kirkus A powerful, gripping and brilliant middle grade novel . . . I will be encouraging my children to read this book, not only because it's a fantastic story, but also because it gives readers a powerful gift: to be able to analyse the difference between right and wrong and decide for yourself which side you want to sit on. - Kids' Book Review
