Quite a few of the softly colored, cartoony, watercolor-and-colored
pencil spreads will have readers packing their own backpacks, most
notably those of McAfee Knob, the backwoods night sky, and the top

genders.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Beautiful illustrations and an emphasis on the value of nature,
determination, and grit make this a great nonfiction selection.
*School Library Journal*
This story of determination is also an ode to the principle of
walking down a road just to see what one can see.
