Review Quotes: ★ "A lovely beginning chapter book....celebrating unconventional wins is a wonderful choice for those seeking transitional chapter books." --School Library Journal, starred review
"Gracie Wei's single-minded pursuit to please her family and the pressure she puts on herself will resonate with young readers, as will the affirming depictions of the lasting effects of loving support." --Publishers Weekly "The story....ultimately delivers a reassuring reminder for young readers being special isn't about winning but about how we treat others." --Booklist "Thoughtfully explores ambition, compassion, and the rewards of internal growth." --Kirkus Reviews "Gracie's wit and slight snark soften the bluntness with kid-authentic humor that will surely garner some giggles....The short sentences, heavy dialogue, and cartoony black-and-white pencil art put this somewhere between Princess Posey and Alvin Ho for newly solo readers." --The Bulletin
