Praise
"Each character is full-bodied and distinct...[R]eaders will find themselves invested in the characters by the time the three head to their outdoor challenge-the final piece of their program-and can finally divulge their darkest secrets to one another...This is a thick book, but the free verse makes for a fast read."
