"Conveys a keen understanding of the physical practicalities involved in coping with a handicap." -Booklist, starred review
"Voigt has a gift for writing books that are impossible to put down, not because of breathtaking plots but because her characters so involved the reader in their inner lives. This is a penetrating look at some real people. Izzy is a winner." -Kirkus Reviews
