"A sensitive, comprehensive look at growing up. Carter deftly creates a world that is both unique and universal and, perhaps most importantly, applicable to young readers. Kids will appreciate and need this content. Highly recommended." - School Library Journal (starred review) "Piper is surrounded by a warm, wonderful, and well-rounded group of characters. The novel explores serious themes but Piper and Tallulah are so vibrant that they keep the story moving at a satisfying pace." - Booklist "With complexity and warmth, Carter centers a seventh grader with big plans for her future, none of which involve growing up." - Publishers Weekly "Sparks eloquent insights.

Thought-provoking.Perceptive." - Kirkus Reviews "Consider this an updated Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, allowing for a full range of sexuality, gender, and feelings about puberty. The book's body-positive, anti-racist, intersectionally feminist message celebrates honesty over niceness--and might just convince readers that math can be exciting." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review).
