Críticas:

"In this poignant story, readers will recognize that even by doing small acts of kindness, people stand to gain more than they lose." --Booklist Praise for Firegirl * "Tom's connection to Jessica changes his perspective on himself, his peers and friendship, and underscores the reward of reaching out to another.... This novel maybe be brief, but it leaves a big impact."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "This isn't the usual book about adjustment to differences; instead, Abbot brilliantly explores the kids' struggle to manage this intrusion of abnormality into their lives.... An understanding yet thought-provoking novel." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review "A touching story of friendship that is easy to read yet hard to forget." --School Library Journal

Reseña del editor:

From the moment Jessica arrives, life is never quite the same for Tom and his seventh grade classmates. They learn that Jessica has been in a fire and will be attending St. Catherine's while getting medical treatment.
Despite her startling appearance and the fear she evokes in him and most of the class, Tom slowly develops a tentative friendship with Jessica that changes his life.
FIREGIRL is a powerful book that will show readers that even the smallest of gestures can have a profound impact on someone's life.
