Praise For This Book |
"I can't believe how good this book is. . . . Wholly original. It's also perfect. . . . Wilson writes with such a light touch. . . . That's the brilliance of the novel that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn't see coming. " -Taffy Brodesser Akner, The New York Times Book Review "A peculiar, entertaining and insightful book about the hazards of child rearing and the value of friends. " -People "Wilson's most perfect novel. Paradoxically light and melancholy, it hews to the border of fantasy but stays in the land of realism. . . . You can sense the real heat radiating off these pages. . . . This novel may seem slight and quirky, but don't be fooled. There's a lot to see here. " -Washington Post "It's a giddily lunatic premise, one that author Kevin Wilson grounds with humor and deadpan matter of factness. . . . Wilson's observational humor is riotous in its specificity. . . . The writing dazzles. . . . But what dazzles most are the warmly rendered dynamics of an ad hoc, dysfunctional family that desperately wants to work. " -USA Today "There's hardly a sentence that feels like anything you've read before, that's how fresh his voice is. . . . Witty, confiding, breezily profane. . . . That the supernatural elements feel so right is a testament to Wilson's innate skill as a storyteller. " -Entertainment Weekly A pleasing blend of tartness and tenderness. . . . . Wilson's ability to capture such tangled sentiments makes him a thoroughly engaging and appealing writer. -Boston Globe Darkly funny yet quietly devastating. . . . Wilson crafts a stunning portrait of the push and pull of parenthood. -Time "Funny and even eerily beautiful. . . . It's the sweetness of this novel that will melt you. " -NPR.org Perennially weird and wonderful. . . . Wilson's portrayal of these fire children conveys more emotional truth about life with a difficult or neurodivergent kid than any of those parenting guides. . . . Funny and affecting. -Minneapolis Star Tribune |
