"Immensely readable and surprisingly touching, this large heft of metal totes a lot of charm." - Kirkus Reviews

"A lovely tribute to the city and its boroughs." - School Library Journal

"Sarcone-Roach guides us to Jessie's final destination with energy, style, and charm. Only a subway rider (as the author most definitely is) could have imagined this book, and given us such a sustained sense of wonder." - Pete Hamill, New York Times

"Sarcone-Roach displays a discipline not always seen in books about the environment; she allows her theme of reuse and recycling to emerge naturally from a fine story and lets readers draw their own conclusions without adding a heavy-handed one of her own." - The Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review
