PRAISE FOR PRAIRIE EVERS:
"Easy-going, earnest story of friendship and family. . . . The budding relationship between Prairie and Ivy is at the heart of this slightly offbeat, yet gratifying tale. . . . Thoughtful readers will no doubt sympathize with Prairie's feelings of loneliness and celebrate the new friendship she finds, even--or perhaps especially--when it gets complicated."--Kirkus Reviews
"Upbeat. . . . Sprinkled with comforting words of advice from Prairie's practical-minded grandmother, the book radiates warmth and wisdom."--Publishers Weekly
"Airgood has created a bright, spunky, independent thinker who traverses the ups and downs of friendship with optimism and loyalty. . . . A great book to recommend to readers who like a lively heroine and an intelligent, refreshing, and unpretentious plot."--School Library Journal
"Heartwarming. . . . An uplifting story with strength in characters, setting, and, especially, Prairie's voice. Readers will love Prairie's independent spirit and care about her relationships."--Library Media Connection
