* "Beaudoin is the Fred Astaire of comic writing, translating each
sentence into a manic dance routine of half-invented jargon
("chewing the profunda-cud") on his way to blessedly non-cloying
coming-of-age glory."
--Booklist (starred review)
" Larger-than-life characters....Behind the music quest, sarcasm
and pursuit of girls, however, lies a more complicated and often
compelling story about family, grief and flawed coping
mechanisms."--Kirkus
"[Beaudoin] plays language like Hendrix plays a guitar."--BCCB
"The author does a brilliant job getting into the head of a
troubled teen and does not shy away from racy topics."--School
Library Journal (starred review)
