Camille McPhee Fell Under the Bus

“The lively, first-person narrative moves readers through possibly banal or overly traumatic episodes with a gentleness and humor that has them rooting for Camille. This book about friendship and loss kindly teaches that life is pretty much what one is willing to make of it.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Camille’s a survivor, ‘born with the power to bounce back,’ which she does with surprising panache and hope in this touching debut.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Middle-grade readers will enjoy the insider’s viewpoint, the blend of farce and sorrow, and the ending, which brings no neat resolution, just a yearning for a world that feels ‘a little more fair.'” —Booklist

“Readers will enjoy the many antics that occur throughout this story. . . . This is an excellent book that can be used to engage reluctant readers.” –Children’s Literature
