Reviews

“Juby again demonstrates her ability to tell a story that’s richly colored all the way to the edges.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)

“A fun read with a message.” - KLIATT (starred review)

“As always, Juby endows her endearing characters with quirky, comedic voices and original backgrounds.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred)

“As if appealing to both genders and espousing integrity weren’t enough, the story is often funny, with an endearing main character. GETTING THE GIRL is a pursuit worth undertaking.” - School Library Journal

“Clever, smart, and wryly observant, [with] an impressive array of convincingly quirky, original characters.” - ALA Booklist

“The author of the Alice MacLeod series now applies her signature brand of humor to a detective novel. Given the dearth of sleuthing capers for the high school crowd, here’s hoping that Juby delivers on the promise of sequels.” - Horn Book Magazine
