Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Will keep youngsters totally engaged. This novel's gentle storytelling carries a theme of love and emphasizes what is really right in the world." --School Library Journal, Starred Review

"This is truly Georgina's story, and to O'Connor's great credit, it's Georgina herself who figures out what's right and does it. The myriad effects of homelessness and the realistic picture of moral quandary will surely generate discussion." --Booklist

"A suspenseful and achingly realistic story." --Kirkus Reviews

"O'Connor knows how to spin a touching story, and reading this novel is its own reward." --The Horn Book

"O'Connor once again smoothly balances challenging themes with her heroine's strength and sense of humor." --Publishers Weekly

"Will give a more privileged audience much to ponder." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A must-have for a classroom library." --IRA
