Revue de presse
"The novel was groundbreaking when it was first published in 1989, and it remains fresh and urgent... Perhaps Klein's greatest achievement is showing Angie through different characters' eyes and perspectives. With her flamboyant dresses and tattoo of a flying horse on her shoulder, she is a beautiful goddess to Seymour, but her family disproves of her revealing clothes and tawdry earrings. Even though we perceive her flightiness and the recklessness of her choices, we align ourselves with Seymour's optimistic, but unrealistic, view." -- The Australian"It aposs been more than 25 years since Robin Klein's poignant story of the friendship between lonely, timid 13-year-old Seymour and affectionate, effervescent, but seriously troubled 20-year-old Angie won the CBCA Book of the Year (Older Readers), a Human Rights Award and a White Raven commendation at the Bologna book fair but the novel has, remarkably, retained all its freshness and is surely no less relevant in this era of ice addiction than it was in 1989." --Adelaide Advertiser
This coming-of-age story of finding yourself, helping others and the power of friendship is timeless. --ReadPlus

Klein's respectful and nuanced drawing of Angie's struggle with addiction is as touching and timely as ever.
