“Surviving through the kindness of strangers, especially a guitar-maker and his friends who refrain from alerting child services, Travis discovers that music is the key to healing his mother and his family.” —School Library Journal

“This effort quickly hits its stride, mostly due to well-drawn, believable characters and the strength of Travis’s nearly indomitable spirit.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Guitar Boy fills a hole in boys’ literature for intermediate to tween readers by telling an empowering story about a very normal boy whose life has completely unraveled. . . . This is the book I’ll be recommending to every kid in my neighborhood near Travis’ age.” —Rebecca Waesch, Joseph-Beth, Cincinnati, OH
