Review Quotes: "Alan Silberberg has written an astounding illustrated novel that deals with the loss of a parent. Milo's feelings are real and raw, and he's busy coping with trying to be in 7th grade, while sorting out needing a parent who is no longer there. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, readers will effortlessly be drawn to Milo and his friends and family. This is not simply a book about losing a parent...it is a pitch perfect story of being in middle school, the push/pull of need and independence, and the story of a boy."
