“Successfully explores the complexities of chronic illness mixed with mental illness … a heartwarming story about a community discovering activism.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Alongside a sensitive portrayal of Ava’s invisible disabilities, well-wrought subplots, such as problems with an unkind classmate and the growing distance between two once-close friends, support the journey of Dilloway’s thoughtful protagonist from timid observer to well-liked social activist.” — Publishers Weekly
“An excellent selection for book clubs for children, read-together picks, and for anyone who enjoys a good underdog story.” — ALA Booklist
“Dilloway covers a lot of ground including social justice, mental health, physical ability, and prejudice, but all the while the narrative is hopeful and encouraging.... Ideal for book clubs and discussions.” — School Library Journal
