Kids will tune in to this book's clear message about appearances.
--Publishers Weekly
A worthy subject that should give kids plenty to think about. -Kirkus
Reviews
This book will not only be enjoyed by teen readers for its entertaining
story, but also for its statement about prejudice. Zephaniah is not just
telling a story of a brave and inspiring young man, he is also teaching
readers an important lesson through the voice of Martin. -VOYA
