Anchored by its genuine characters and buoyed by its true fun, this is an adventure with staying power." -- Booklist , STARRED review "Giles gives his middle school-aged African-American protagonists unique style and admirable substance....While the pair manages to fix time in this adventure, an underlying distress suggests readers may enjoy greater depth in upcoming visits to an already cleverly fantastical and fantastically clever universe." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The Last Last-Day-of-Summer reminds me that all children deserve to exist in magical spaces where their imaginations and familial bonds will them into heroism.
