Reviews

Wright's occasionally flashy but mostly straightforward...prose should work equally well for bookish and non-bookish readers. -- Kirkus Reviews


Wright gives voice, complexity, and heart to the kind of character often relegated to a cliche sidekick role...[Carlos is] a walking example of the inner strength teens need--regardless of their sexuality. -- Publishers Weekly


Readers will simultaneously root for and marvel at this fascinating character. -- School Library Journal
