Reception
The novel was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1937; Seredy's own novel The White Stag would win the Newbery Medal the next year.[3] The New York Times review complimented Williams' writing, saying "she writes with a pleasuring simplicity and directness" and "it gives the impression that the author has lived through some of the experiences described".[4] Kirkus Reviews also observed that "the adventures and misadventures have roots in personal experience".[5]
