★ "Mother-son duo Wolitzer and Panek team up to illustrate how found music (the unexpected ordinary noise that makes up the humdrum of daily life) can empower individuals and boost creativity . . . A scavenger hunt adventure that is loving and tenderhearted." --School Library Journal, starred review ★ "Flowing as seamlessly as a favorite song and leaving readers listening to the world around them differently, this is a written book for an audio age--exciting and innovative, yet still a realistic and heartfelt tale. Recommend this sensory story to fans of Rebecca Stead and scavenger hunt stories with a twist." --Booklist, starred review "Both an affectionate ode to the textures of everyday sound and a sensorial adventure, this freewheeling novel seamlessly integrates lessons in recording, remixing, and engineering, lending the mystery an accessible STEAM sheen." --Publishers Weekly (currently posted) "A scavenger-hunt like plot that takes readers on a journey of sound . . . Hand this to any kid who loves music, sound, or games and is looking for a fun adventure that may inspire their own summer scavenger hunt or found sound project." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
