Reviews
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“[F]or younger readers, this confectionery graphic novel will give them both whimsy and the chance to consider about how they might be seen as their true selves.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
School Library Journal
“Refreshingly, Cici’s problems don’t magically go away by the end. . . . The illustrations are colorful and wonderfully explore the magical world. . . . A decent graphic novel addition.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“The multicultural cast and universal themes make this a promising start to a series and a solid introduction to graphic novels.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“Latina Cici is wholly likable, and her real-life concerns play out well juxtaposed with her more whimsical ones. A thoughtful and entertaining mix of fantasy and real-world problems.”—Kirkus Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“Doerrfeld and Page’s vivid cartoons are full of humorous details, while reflecting the deeply felt emotions of a family in transition.”—Publishers Weekly
