Review
" Fun and though-provoking." - People Magazine
"Following Dream On, Amber (2015), Shevah returns with another book, this time deftly navigating the complexity of being a transracial adoptee... this funny, charismatic heroine will capture her readers' hearts. " - Kirkus, starred
"Dara's larger-than-life personality and true-to-life middle grade issues command center stage until the curtain falls" - School Library Journal, starred
" Like Shevah's Dream On, Amber, this entertaining insight into the mind of an adopted child, snappily narrated and exuberantly illustrated, is sure to win readers over, one teaspoonful at a time." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"With themes of transracial adoption, racism, identity, friendship, and sibling rivalry (not to mention a hyperactively decorated page design), there's a lot going on here, but Shevah's novel raises interesting questions without attempting to neatly answer them all....[Dara's] emotional growth is believable and appealing, and her super-chatty narration is never not funny.
" - Horn Book Magazine
"As she did in Dream On, Amber (2015), Shevah takes an insightful look at tween life, exploring themes of identity, race, and family with a liberal dose of humor. Dara is a winning, fittingly overdramatic character who starts to grow once she takes a more serious look her life and those in it...A heartwarming, diary-style novel (with decorative doodles by Crawford-White) that deserves a place on library shelves." - Booklist
