"This is a lovely read for tweens (and their parents!). Author Karen Pokras Toz captures Millie’s life angst—from disillusionment with sixth grade, to decisions about doing soccer or drama, to denying she has a crush—with humor and inside knowledge. I also enjoyed Millie’s coming of age and gradual maturing. ... Millie learns huge life lessons about friendship, respect, and the fact that other people have feelings and problems. Highly recommended" - Fiona I, Readers Favorite

“This story is a fun, clever tale with a timely moral, well-suited for the target age group. I recommend you get this book for your 4th through 6th grader to read and learn from. I am quite sure they will enjoy and appreciate it!” – Lee Ashford, Readers Favorite
“...Learn what the author so creatively teaches parents, teachers, children and everyone about bullying and why it needs to be addressed and stopped everywhere. One great book, one great Millicent Marie and one younger brother that started a blog that would change everything for one 12 year old girl who learns the true meaning of friendship and forgiveness.” – Fran Lewis, Author, Review, and Radio Talk Show Host
“I love how Karen shows that it is possible to overcome the stereotypes set on kids, and how if someone would just show some kindness and honesty, great things can happen. Millicent Marie is able to make some great changes in the hierarchy of her peers and a few things in her school as well, but also comes to see that although the right words can make things better - words can hurt too. Another amazing book by Karen Pokras Toz.” – Susan, Mom Loves 2 Read
“My Daughter’s Review: I liked this story because it demonstrated real life. I loved the characters and how they put real school life in there. I loved how the author put a little brother in there that is a little bit of a nuisance. It kind of reminded me of myself and how it was at my school. I recommend this story for any age who can read. I’ve also read Nate Rocks the World and recommend that book as well.” Coral Russell, Alchemy of Scrawl
“Millicent Marie Is Not My Name by Karen Pokras Toz is a fantastic middle grade book that will keep you turning the pages to finds out what happens to Millie and her friends. I think that this is a book that could be enjoyed by both boys and girls in the middle grades. I am amazed at how the author created such believable characters. This is a book you don’t want to miss!” – Lizzie, The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrow
“Millicent Marie reminds me so much of what life was like in 6th grade. Her voice is so genuine. Millie is a character with both strengths and weaknesses and both come shining through in this story. I liked how realistic this book was. I put it up with Dork Diaries and Diary of a Wimpy Kid in terms of kid appeal. Lots here to discuss with kids as well.” –Heidi Grange, Geo Librarian
“This was such a great read! This is one of those books that everyone and anyone, of all ages, can relate to. Within these pages you will find the unique and funny voice of a girl who is trying to figure things out like all kids do. This is a book that EVERYONE should pick up and read. It is definitely a book I will have my son, nieces and nephew read because of its wonderful approach in addressing so many issues they are currently experiencing. Kudos to Karen Pokras Toz on a wonderfully written book that flows so well, has fantastic characters and is bursting with positive energy!” – Mirely Rodriguez, Rumor Has It
“What a fun book! Millie (aka Amanda) is an amazing character. You will love her. I read this book with my sixth grade son (his review can be found on KIDS'N'BOOKS) and we both loved the story.

I give this book 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes a good story or anyone who likes to read to their school age children.” – Donna Lawrence, Book Lovers’ Paradise
