"Cathartic proof that childhood provides lessons for a lifetime and that change is possible." --Kirkus, starred review
"Harper makes it clear that despite the angst, Charise and Daniel have an unbreakable bond, and she deftly conveys the sibling dynamic: One minute the two are squabbling, the next they're secretly finding a way to communicate through the walls after bedtime." --School Library Journal, starred review "Raw emotions of guilt, shame, and jealousy are explored, as young Charise interrogates the power dynamics of big sisterhood and recognizes Daniel's strengths."--Book Horn Magazine, starred review "[...] The story takes a resonant dive into the insular world of children, especially siblings." --Publishers Weekly A Junior Library Guild selectionAbout the Author
