“Sheinmel has a great ear for the dialogue and concerns of eight-year-old girls. Bell’s artwork is breezy and light, reflecting the overall tone of the book. This would be a good choice for fans of Barbara Park’s ‘Junie B. Jones’ books.”
— School Library Journal
“First in a series featuring eight-year-old Stella, Sheinmel’s unassuming story, cheerily illustrated by Bell, is a reliable read for those first encountering chapter books. With a light touch, Sheinmel persuasively conveys elementary school dynamics; readers may recognize some of their own inflated reactions to small mortifications in likeable Stella, while descriptions of unique candy confections are mouth-watering.”
