Reviews
"Lifting up the theme of promoting STEM for girls, Ferry (Swashby and the Sea) builds the story around the principles of scientific research ("Formulate a hypothesis. Test the hypothesis. Analyze data. Make a conclusion"). Crisp-edged spreads in deep, brilliant hues by Alvarez (The Magical Yet) contribute energy and verve. Kids who struggle to navigate school social pressures will recognize themselves in Marsha's story, and they'll be drawn to her determination to make friends without squelching her own distinctive personality." -Publishers Weekly -
