Praise
Kirkus Reviews
"This is well written, though the somber mood never lifts; even the small triumph at the end is subdued. It is a realistically heartening story for teenagers who have a battle to fight, and might also be useful for sparking class discussion." 07/01/2002 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The subject is both unusual and highly topical, and there's considerable appeal in the story of a young person's moral battle against the system." - Deborah Stevenson October 2002
