Here’s what the trades are saying about SUPER JAKE:
“The Millers’ love for one another radiates throughout Ethan’s witty, introspective narration. Jake is never a burden; his family members include him in fun activities and everyday life as best they can…. A warm, hopeful debut.”―-Kirkus Reviews
Aspiring magician Ethan, 11, learns the true meaning of magic in this charming and heartwarming debut. The author based Jake on her own son, and that portrayal lends authenticity to this funny and moving story.―-Booklist, starred review
A strong family story for realistic middle grade fiction shelves.―School Library Journal
