I was very excited to receive my Kirkus Review this week and greatly relieved that it was positive!

"Engaging multispecies characters headline a tale that’s both insightful and diverting."

"The animal cast is divine, featuring personable dogs, cats, hens, and alpacas as well as such lesser-known species as currawongs and superb fairy-wrens. The humans shine, too, starting with sympathetic Quinby; she’s ever-resilient in the face of hateful individuals at the school, including her own roommate. Accompanying Quinby are students and faculty members hailing from other countries and different backgrounds. While this lengthy novel certainly isn’t a quick read, it’s easy to rally behind the young hero, who also takes on a puppy farm."
