“The plot is devilishly clever, with clues that point to without giving away the surprise twists... even those with no prior experience of [Larbalestier’s] craftiness will find Che’s helplessness in the face of Rosa’s casual cruelty absolutely chilling. ”
—The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review, on My Sister Rosa
“A chilling contemplation on human morality—Che’s physical sparring in the ring has nothing on his go-arounds with Rosa... [incorporates] sharp commentary on privilege, faith, gender identity, and race. The tension of wondering where and how Rosa will strike next will keep readers riveted from start to finish.”
—Publishers Weekly on My Sister Rosa
