Reviews
"Assuaging the anxieties of one first-time student is tough enough, let alone seven. This story about finding creative solutions unfolds with understated elegance..."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"This clever take on the afraid-to-go-to-school theme should have broad appeal."-- "School Library Journal"
