★”Fritz has given a vivid picture of the man and an equally vivid picture of the problems that faced the leaders of the new nation in the formative years.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
★”Fritz injects a wit and candor that capture the sense of chaos that pervaded the halls of the Constitutional Convention …. Thoroughly engaging.” —Booklist (starred review)
★”Fritz fills a void in middle-school collections … with a flowing narrative that will make young readers want to know more about this unusual man …. Young readers will feel like they know the ‘Great Little Madison’ very well.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
