Praise
★ “Historical fiction at its finest.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review
★ ”Rich in New York City period detail and era-specific colloquialisms, the briskly moving telling succeeds in its well-executed combination of classic plot elements, sympathetic characters and community, and anxiety-provoking uncertainties, while parenthetical asides to readers create a deepening sense of engagement and intimacy with the Byrne family.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Albus paints a picture of New York City life during the late stages of the WWII with engaging prose and a rich sense of setting . . . Readers will surely become vested in this story of family and community and ache for Pop’s safe return from war.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The story is both grounded in reality and embellished with entertaining exploits, keeping readers excited about Dory’s experiences as she holds her family together and they await their papa. . . . An absorbing tale about urban life on the World War II homefront.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Albus creates a vividly realized setting. . . . An engaging historical novel with a rewarding conclusion.”—Booklist
