Review:
"The murkiness of desire and the necessity of finding one's way will resonate for adolescents struggling with issues of identity, sexuality, stepparents, and societal strictures. A dark jewel."
Kirkus, 02/01/1997
Review:"Sophisticated and rich...readers with a taste for revisionings won't want to miss it."
Deborah Stevenson, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, April 1997
