"A nice mix of humor and emotional pitfalls: the perfect script for an engaging read." --Kirkus Reviews
"Green sincerely conjures Violet's deep pain, confusion, frustration, and worry over shifting relationships; her frank, energetic voice carries this sensitive narrative." --Publishers Weekly
"Middle-grade readers will appreciate the realistic reflection of the social lives of 12-year-olds. Green doesn't shy away from Violet’s own shortcomings, making her all the more sympathetic and relatable. The narrative keeps up a comfortable pace and weaves subplots adeptly in along with illustrations that demonstrate Violet’s love of math. Recommended for readers looking to take a more serious and mature step past Diary of a Wimpy Kid." --Booklist

"A warm story about a girl who learns to navigate her world with humor, courage, and heart. A sweet, funny, and thoughtful read with a healthy dose of STEM and pie."—Mae Respicio, author of The House That Lou Built
