"A heart-warming story about friendship and faith, with plenty of great humor. Eleanor and Owen are sure to win over readers." -- Debbi Michiko Florence, author of the Jasmine Toguchi Series "Debbi Michiko Florence, author of the Jasmine Toguchi Series" "Faith and friendship are at the heart of Bouwman's new chapter-book series. The overarching themes of friendship, familial love, and resiliency in the face of change are ... universal. A sweet start ripe for more installments." -- Kirkus Reviews "Kirkus Reviews" "Tender and funny, and the kids' voices are absolutely spot-on." -- Lynn Jonell, author of Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat and The Secret of Zoom "Lynn Jonell, author of Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat and The Secret of Zoom" "The author handled diversity of thought, race, and experiences so masterfully. Authentic and relatable ... it's simple one of the best books on friendship, transition, and family I've read this year." -- Osheta Moore, author of Shalom Sistas "Osheta Moore, author of Shalom Sistas"
