Praise

★ “LaBan (Edge City) skillfully unspools the jokes and fast-paced plot with broad cartooning reminiscent of classic Sunday comics and wraps it up with a triumphant depiction of a quintessential Jewish coming-of-age tradition.”Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
 
★ “LaBan offers a heartfelt, characterful, and exciting lesson in learning to meet our limitations with thoughtful consideration and patience with ourselves, while meaningfully embracing the adjacent concerns of scholarship and empathy. . . It rings perfectly with a story all about mistakes, but filled with so much to love.”Booklist, Starred Review

“A coming-of-age fable, humorously told and illustrated.”Kirkus Reviews
