"Heather Shaw paints a beautiful masterpiece of a story that leaves the reader feeling proud, sad, and somewhat confused – much like Smallfish and his friends feel much of the time. This is powerful, reality-based fiction – albeit of a reality few of us know, and one which no boy should ever have to face head-on the way Smallfish does.... Pace's transformation into Smallfish is fascinating, albeit sometimes heartbreaking, to watch, especially in terms of the way he balances external and internal struggles on his accelerated path to early manhood." Daniel Jolley, Top 50 Reviewer at Amazon.com
