Reviews

“Stanbridge has created a tale that manages to deal with the serious subject of divorce and remarriage and its effects on the family in a way that is both sensitive and rib-ticklingly funny.”  Ottawa Citizen

“The Leftover Kid is funny, it’s witty, it’s blessedly without a message of any kind, and Stanbridge carries it all off beautifully.”  Globe and Mail
