Review quotes

"In [Horvath's] capable hands the dilemma of Primrose Squarp is revealed with hilarity and buoyant good nature. . . . Subtlety and slapstick is a challenging combination; Horvath pulls it off beautifully." —The Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review

"Horvath delivers another hilariously puckish read with this tale of a (possibly) orphaned girl from a small Canadian fishing village. . . . A laugh-out-loud pleasure from beginning to triumphant end." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"The story is full of subtle humor and wisdom, presented through the eyes of a uniquely appealing young protagonist." —School Library Journal

." . . a deeply touching novel about irrational faith." —Orlando Sentinel

"Delightful. Hilarious. Entertaining. Insightful. These adjectives don't even begin to describe a novel I simply couldn't put down. . . . You'll love it." —The Syracuse Post-Standard
