"A funny and heartfelt story... Balancing the heavy subject matter with generous doses of humor and an authentic young teen voice, López crafts a story that blends family and middle school drama successfully." -- Kirkus Reviews

"López (Choke) skillfully balances emotional moments with humorous ones, offering an honest portrait of a family under strain. Chia's clever, cheeky voice and a strong cast contribute to an inspiring story about developing "a special kind of bravery." -- Publishers Weekly

"The many characters in Chia's life are individually and lovingly drawn... Readers will feel like Chia's family and friends could do anything as long as they stick together-and they may be right." -- Booklist

"Chia's voice shines... A fast-moving, absorbing read about how one person's illness can affect the whole family in many different ways." -- School Library Journal

My own promesa after reading Lopez's wonderful novel: to run alongside my wife and hundreds of thousands of others on that day of the Race for the Cure from here henceforth." -- René Saldaña Jr., author of A Good Long Way

"There is much substance and a powerful story here." -- Library Media Connection
