"Woods takes us right into New Orleans, right into the eye of the storm and the heart of New Orleans' people." -- Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winnng author of Brown Girl Dreaming

"Provides a vivid description of what life was like in pre-Katrina New Orleans, and how quickly peoples' lives were shattered. The characters are well-developed, and readers truly will care about their fates." -- Library Media Connection, starred review

"A small gem that sparkles with hope, resilience and the Crescent City's unique, jazz-infused spirit." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
