"A nice mix of humor and emotional pitfalls: the perfect script for an engaging read."
—Kirkus Reviews"Middle-grade readers will appreciate the realistic reflection of the social lives of 12-year-olds. Green doesn't shy away from Violet’s own shortcomings, making her all the more sympathetic and relatable. The narrative keeps up a comfortable pace and weaves subplots adeptly in along with illustrations that demonstrate Violet’s love of math. Recommended for readers looking to take a more serious and mature step past
Diary of a Wimpy Kid."
