Reviews

“Kevin’s struggle with humility . . . makes this novel stand out as great LDS (Latter-day Saints) young adult fiction. . . . Wiles’s depiction of small-town life is witty at times, heartbreaking at others, and her characters are charming without being caricatures. Underlying it all is a story about faith—about having it, keeping it, and gaining it—that is a far better testimony of the gospel than overt preaching could be.” —Association for Mormon Letters
