“A fantastic depiction of the upside of boredom—readers will easily relate to Rita’s desperation while feeling bored and feel inspired by the places that the feeling takes her.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)

“Young Rita “was so bored, she wasn’t even hungry anymore, which was the first thing she usually was, when she was bored,” writes Sala (A Lost Cause) in this amusingly imaginative picture book portrait of childhood ennui.”
— Publishers Weekly

“A clever reminder that from great boredom comes great invention.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Taking a page from Rita’s book, readers will be dazzled by where their silly and limitless imagination can take them to cure their boring days.”
