"Schumacher tells his story in clear prose, and John's first-person narrative is buoyed by an infectious enthusiasm for the world around him. Overall the book is a pleasant exploration of familial bonds across generations and the timelessness of youth." - Kirkus Reviews
A beautifully written story that is multi-layered with rich symbolism. I highly recommend this book for the rich message it offers that moments of the past, present, and future co-exist between generations." - Linnea Tanner, Author of Apollo's Raven
