Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, November/December 2009:
"With a light touch, complemented by Carpenter’s breezy
illustrations, Fleming introduces rather than stresses these
issues, making room for more thoughtful discussion but never
requiring it"
Publishers Weekly, October 5, 2009: "Imogene’s passion and comedic
perseverance inspire"
Kirkus Reviews, September 1, 2009: "Fleming peppers the text with
famous quotes that add a layer of historical depth to the
story"
Booklist, July 1, 2009: "Fleming’s sense of small-town space is
impeccable; Carpenter’s pen-and-ink art enjoyably scribbly; and the
historical facts and quotes that bookend the story are just the
thing to get new Imogenes fired up."
