Professional Reviews
Professional Reviews	Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books: "Reading this book is so intimately revelatory it's like moving into someone's house. Martinez' deceptively straightforward prose is rich with poetic turns of phrase, and his ability to communicate the environment and dynamics of this family--their struggles with poverty, racism, and violence--make his writing startlingly visceral."
