"Starred Review. A smart and moving coming-of-age story about two best friends ... Fresh, absorbing, compelling. For young adults." - Kirkus Review.
"The story moves quickly and will easily draw in readers. Though appearing to be a mystery, it is actually a cross-country personal quest." - School Library Journal.
"Chris and readers are equally in the dark about Win's disappearance, making the mystery that much more exciting. Ages 12-up." - Publishers Weekly.
