On the Road to Mr. Mineo's - Softcover

"* O'Connor sets the stage beautifully from the very beginning. . . . Touching and satisfying." --School Library Journal, starred review

"Friendship and sibling dynamics get heated at times, but O'Connor's light touch keeps the story buoyant, leading up to an ending as satisfying as a cold glass of iced tea on a hot summer afternoon." --Publishers Weekly

"[O'Connor] condenses long summer days down into their essence, quiet but humming with an undercurrent of childhood energy." --Kirkus Reviews

"Rhythmic prose." --BCCB

"With total authorial control, O'Connor brings it all together, first creating a quiet, satisfying adventure and then an apt conclusion for peaceful, laidback Meadville. Here it is the subtlety of character and setting, rather than action, that rules the roost." --The Horn Book

"A gem of a story. . . . Barbara O'Connor's gift in storytelling is her restraint. Holding back allows the reader to fill in a bit, making the story more personal. Her talents make On the Road to Mr. Mineo's an unforgettable trip." --Book Page

"Read it aloud to a classroom. Share the book at bedtime with a special child. Wrap it for the holidays. This one's a keeper." --Christian Science Monitor
