School Library Journal positively reviewed Krysia, saying, “Painting a vivid picture of a child’s experience as a civilian caught among warring powers, Mihulka’s story offers many opportunities for discussion, especially given the current refugee crisis.”
VOYA says Krysia is "a moving memoir [that] provides an informative accounting of Krysia’s time in captivity and her eventual escape from Russia, told as recollections accessible to young readers."
Booklistsays "this memoir has power and does the necessary work of prompting readers to try to imagine what it’s like to be among the millions of children undergoing similar upheavals in the war zones of today."
