"Nolan leavens this haunting but hopeful story with spot-on
humor and a well developed cast of characters, and she shows with
moving clarity the emotional costs of mental illness, especially on
teens forced to parent their own
parents."--Booklist, starred
review
"In this distinct and effective blend of sorrow and humor, Jason,
once invisible to his classmates and used to the chaos at home,
suffers the effects of change when he's enrolled in a lunch-hour
group therapy with other wayward teens and his father is taken
away...he slowly learns, with the help of his new friends and
foster parents, normalcy and how to care for himself
first."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Nolan balances weighty subject matter with humor,
offering an intelligent portrayal of a boy's slow release of
burdens too heavy to carry alone."--Publishers Weekly
