We weren't sure what to expect from this one, but were pleasantly
surprised by honest, funny and incredibly likeable Travis. As a
walking miracle, he should be grateful, but he struggles with
feeling out of step in his own life. Noggin is filled with
loving relationships that remind us that even with the kindest
people and the best intentions, life is complicated.-- "Justine
Magazine, June/July 2014"
Whaley's sweet and raunchy first-person narrative provides a
thought-provoking look at the notions of self-awareness, the nature
of identity, and the angst of a very special teen. The lively,
conversational style will engage teen readers in search of an
unusual, but relatable, character. At times hilarious and
heart-wrenching, Noggin, with its eye-catching cover art,
belongs in all library collections serving young adults.-- "VOYA,
