Winsome, bighearted, and altogether rewarding. -Booklist, Starred review
...Stead's writing [is]... filled with humor, delightful coincidences... An immensely satisfying addition for Stead's many fans. -School Library Journal, Starred review
... [Stead] captures the stomach-churning moments of a misstep or an unplanned betrayal and reworks these events with grace, humor, and polish into possibilities for kindness and redemption. Superb. -Kirkus Reviews, Starred review
This memorable story about female friendships, silly bets, different kinds of love, and bad decisions is authentic in detail and emotion-another Stead hallmark. -Publishers Weekly, Starred review
The handing-down of advice and wisdom from older girls and women is a welcome theme throughout the book and far too rare in female coming-of-age stories; it's just one of many reasons this astonishingly profound novel is not your average middle-school friendship tale. -The Horn Book, Starred review
The author as usual deftly interweaves her plot strands into an organic whole, and between the multifocal plot and the exploration on growth and self-recognition... -Bulletin, Starred review
Stead can brilliantly summon what it feels like to be a young adolescent ... [Goodbye Stranger] is full of fun and generosity, and ... it is beautifully balanced. -Wall Street Journal
This novel not only sensitively explores togetherness, aloneness, betrayal and love, it also acknowledges something crucial to the business of growing up: how anyone's personal 'we of me' might look different a little while from now, and later still, different again. -Meg Wolitzer for New York Times Book Review
Absolutely relatable and full of heart. -Bustle.com
Beautifully written and perfectly paced ... Stead doesn't talk down to her intended audience (ages 10 and up) or even to adult readers long past seventh grade who may well be surprised by the flood of real-life memories her fictional world dislodges ... Goodbye Stranger will remind you of who you are. -Houston Chronicle
A moving blend of present-day and historic, romantic love and familial love, deep questions and just-for-fun pursuits. -BookPage
[Stead] can see into the souls of young people as they begin to grow conscious of how others view them from the outside and how they feel on the inside, and she has the skill to illuminate how they grapple with these gaps and overlaps in perception. -Shelf-Awareness
[A]s authentic as it gets ... This is a landmark in literature on the friendships of young women ... Goodbye Stranger packs a wallop of emotion that's a true pleasure to be leveled by. -The Brooklyn Rail
Stead manages to infuse her book with a timeless quality, particularly in the way she so accurately taps into universal feelings of trying to nail down exactly who one is supposed to be. Stead's humble story is one that is deeply felt, and perhaps one of the strongest children's novels of 2015 so far. -National Post
This marvelous, life-affirming novel, told from three perspectives, explores the unsettling, pivotal changes of adolescence as three best friends start seventh grade. -Buffalo News
A school story of substance and literary finesse.-The Toronto Star
