"Truly heartbreaking! Viva ingeniously weaves words and pictures to evoke that strange, wonderful moment - when the very worst experience of your life somehow becomes the very best." - Chip Kidd, author of Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts

"Sea Change is like a dip in cold Canadian waters: just step inside, and soon you're completely swept away, finding yourself overwhelmed and breathless, entranced by this whirlwind of a book. Bravo, Frank Viva. And glub, glub, glub."
"Truly heartbreaking! Viva ingeniously weaves words and pictures to evoke that strange, wonderful moment—when the very worst experience of your life somehow becomes the very best."
"[Sea Change] is the novel equivalent of the best summer-vacation postcard a person could get."
"Moving from picture books into fiction can be a stretch; Viva makes it look easy."
"Viva's Sea Change is a magical book, a deft, understated chronicle of the moment a young boy passes from childhood into something altogether more mysterious—and terrifying—almost without being aware of it himself. Eliot is a skillfully drawn fictional creation: at times he is demanding and nearly unbearable, at others vulnerable and relatable, but always fundamentally human."
