"This strong debut middle grade novel by the acclaimed picture book author/illustrator is a first purchase for most middle grade collections."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Brown's middle-grade debut, an uplifting story about an unexpected visitor whose arrival disrupts the animal inhabitants of a rocky island, has a contemporary twist...Brown wisely eschews a happy ending in favor of an open-ended one that supports the tone of a story that's simultaneously unsentimental and saturated with feeling."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
