Review A 2023 ALA Rise: A Feminist Book Project Pick … "Goerz spins a twisty mystery plot . . . [and] playfully subverts classic middle grade drama, depicting a deepening, expanding friendship among kids who ostensibly dont have much in common . . . Goerz nicely mixes visual narrative styles (wordless spreads, layered snapshots) to tell this fun, dynamic story." —Booklist, starred review"Goerzs detailed and expressive art pairs with dynamic dialogue to create a strong cast of characters and plotting. Emotional tension from new and developing friendships and suspense stemming from the case keep the pacing taut. Readers will especially empathize with Jamila as she worries and works to balance friendships with very different people. A solid next installment to this detective series centered on friendship." —Kirkus Review Quote "Goerzs detailed and expressive art pairs with dynamic dialogue to create a strong cast of characters and plotting.
