| NZ Review |
Starred review, The Horn Book Magazine, July/August 2008: <br> Divided into a series of brief, subtitled scenes, the narrative eloquently conveys how quickly 'normal' life can change into something surreal. <br>Starred review, Publisher's Weekly, June 2, 2008: <br> The humanity in the author's treatment affords the reader a sense both of grief and of peace. <br>Starred review, Booklist, July 1, 2008: <br> This will stay with readers for a long time. |
