review
“…Albie comes through significant emotional hardship to a genuine
sense of self-worth.” – SLJ, starred review
“Beautifully written, Albie’s story is accessible and dignified,
with a gentle message that will touch any reader’s heart.
Middle-grade readers will love the references to Dav Pilkey’s
inexhaustibly popular Captain Underpants series, which has
introduced so many children to the fun side of reading. A perfect
book to share with struggling readers.” - Booklist, starred
