That it is never too late to change the future and that high school sins can be forgiven—these are wonderful messages, but Allen's warm characters and quirky setting are what will completely open readers' hearts to this story. Nothing in it disappoints. Fans of Allen's Garden Spells will snap this up.
Library Journal (starred review)

By sprinkling just enough magic into the narrative to keep things lively...(color-changing wallpaper, mysterious lights)...Allen charts the spiraling inter-generational stories, bringing everything together in an unexpected way.
