"Debut author Peña offers a middle-grade tale of middle-school high jinks."
"Peña has a keen sense of drama, and the threat of Mildred's memory returning effectively hangs over the feel-good moments that make up much of the novel."
"This is a puzzling narrative decision, as the book has no qualms about frankly moralizing on other subjects, such as infidelity and drug use."
-Kirkus, 2018
