"Read this for my schools William Allen White rewards and I still remember it. Its a fun story about a family with some strange powers."
Caleigh Knight
"It was an enjoyable read, the story grabbed my attention and it’s a good coming of age book. The characters were likeable, relatable, and had personality. I felt as impatient as Mibs for her and her siblings to see their father in the hospital since sometimes I can’t handle a book that seems to be going slow paced haha."

"This book was eccentric & heartwarming. Different than most of the YA novels I read when I was a kid, I liked how it takes place on the border or Nebraska & Kansas. An unlikely setting for a very unique book."

"This book is so sweet and cute. If you're ever looking for a break after heavy/dark reads, this is perfect. I love all the characters, and their journey is enjoyable. It has a very soft and fuzzy vibe about it."
