“Worthwhile, engaging, and highly entertaining no matter which flag you wave, Cubanita is the perfect summer book.” - South Florida Sun Sentinel (for Cubanita)
“An entertaining read. Teens who enjoy Louise Rennison’s and Ann Brashares’s books will like this one, too.” - ALA Booklist (for Backstage Pass)
“Hilarious. As with all good writing, the particulars of the story, the search for roots, and the conflicts in leaving home will speak to teens everywhere—not just those in immigrant families.” - ALA Booklist, starred review (for Cubanita)
