"A compelling coming-of-age road trip."
--Kirkus "Set in Elizabethan England, the novel is built upon
Cushman's thorough research and solid understanding of the
period."
--Booklist "[Cushman] manages the tricky balance of keeping her
characters engaging and understandable for her audience while still
making them very much of their time."
--Horn Book "Fascinating, sometimes seemingly preposterous, details
are solidly corroborated in the informative author's note that
reflects Cushman's extensive research."
--School Library Journal "Offering action, humor, and heart in
equal doses, Cushman's story is, at its core, about creating and
claiming a family of one's own."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Lively and amusing . . . .
[Cushman's] details have the surprising aptness of an Elizabeth
Enright story--or, to step outside children's books, a Raymond
Chandler novel."
--The New York Times Book Review "Karen Cushman is a master of
portraying personal transformation. . . . A warmhearted portrait of
a boy coming to terms with himself and the world."
--Historical Novels Society "As usual, Cushman is adept at bringing
the past to vivid life, with evocative details from daily
Elizabethan life and authentic, often humorous dialogue."
