Gonzalez enters the literary scene with this exceptional historical novel - Kirkus Reviews
Christina Diaz Gonzalez captures the fervor, uncertainty and fear of the times through Lucia's first-person perspective and the newspaper headlines that begin each chapter...a compelling first novel. - Washington Post
Debut author Gonzalez excels at highlighting the cultural difficulties... memorable heroine and supporting cast offer a moving portrait of resilience and reinvention - Publisher's Weekly
An insightful window into the aspect of recent history known as Pedro Pan - Denver Post
Gonzalez deals effectively with separation, culture shock, homesickness, uncertainty and identity as she captures what is also a grand adventure - resilient kids taking to a new way of life. - San Francisco Chronicle
Well-written novel has a thoroughly believable protagonist and well-chosen period details... it could generate some excellent classroom discussions - School Library Journal
Through the eyes of (the) likable young narrator, readers will understand a compelling part of history. Kudos to Christina Diaz Gonzalez for sharing her family's story, and for telling it so well. - Christian Science Monitor
