"Felix's [story] is as internal as it is external. As he follows clues to his father's identity, he learns about the person and friend he himself is beginning to be (while making some age-appropriate blunders)." --The New York Times "A captivating, humorous, and heartfelt story of friendship, family, and crime-solving." --Kirkus Reviews "A fresh and funny read that sells itself, and it demonstrates that there is more than one way to grow." --Booklist "The story keeps a steady pace as it ­alternates between school and home, ­giving a firsthand account of what it's like to be young and faced with decisions that are difficult to navigate. ­Engaging and heartfelt, Van Vleet's title delivers big on the feels. Anyone who's ever been made to feel small will benefit from ­hearing ­Felix's story." --School Library Journal " Nothing Is Little offers powerful proof that little things can matter in a great big way.

What a beautiful book! The most huge-hearted and heartwarming story you'll read this year."--Claudia Mills, author of The Lost Language "Smart, funny, and memorable. You can't help but love Felix! He has big goals and a great big heart, and he'll live large in your memory long after the final page is turned."--Margi Preus, Newbery Honor-winning author.
