Kirkus, January 11, 2022: “An inspirational throwback for families seeking tales with a classic feel.”

Booklist, February 15, 2022: “Guterson does a splendid job of conjuring up the ideal setting for a classic summer story…A properly old-fashioned adventure that begs to be read by flashlight under bedcovers.”

Publishers Weekly, April 22, 2022: “Guterson sensitively explores Zack’s journey toward self-forgiveness in this contemplative adventure featuring a captivating northwestern U.S. setting, a splash of the paranormal, and a tidy ending.”

Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, March 2022: “Guterson treads carefully, demonstrating how grief can be maneuvered but not entirely left behind…The mystery of a tower, secret messages, ghostly communications, and a cranky old man are all appealing elements that move the story forward . . . readers will be glad to see the Einsteins get some closure, joy, and good karma.”

YA Books Central, March 2022: “Readers who love summer stories rich with family details, like Glasser’s The Vanderbeekers series or Birdsall’s The Penderwicks will be glad to make the acquaintance of the Einsteins.”

Kait Plus Books, April 12, 2022: “This book is truly amazing and I’m so excited for you to find out more about it!”
