Reception
Guts received positive reception. Scott Stossel from The New York Times said "'Guts' is dedicated to 'anyone who feels afraid.' For anyone that includes, this book’s warmth, humanity and humor — it ends with a sonorous and well-earned fart — provides a balm more soul-soothing than any pill."[4] Karen Jensen from Teen Librarian Toolbox said "Far too many of our young people are wrestling with mental health issues and we need to do better for them. Guts is just one of the ways that we can help. And that’s the power of story."[5] Kirkus Reviews said: "With young readers diagnosed with anxiety in ever increasing numbers, this book offers a necessary mirror to many." [6]
