Reviews
"Fifth-grader Hortense, drifting away from her prim best friend, Doris, toward the livelier and more interesting Virginia, is also attempting to forge a friendship with caustic, worldly Aunt Kate. It is the author's foot-off-the-brakes literary style that gives the novel its distinctive flair." — Copyright © 1991 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
