“Upbeat, light in tone, and both deft and respectful in its exploration of characters and issues.”
-- Kirkus Reviews
"Murphy has a family life that’s not often represented in children’s books. ... While the plot of the story centers around Murphy’s music and finding out who stole her songs, the true superstar in the story is in the relationships. ... The narrative balances the relationship and mystery elements really well while also giving readers a glimpse into life with a parent diagnosed with depression."
