Our Young Reviewer Says:
Katherine Rundell has crafted a breathtaking story, one which interweaves a unique magical world with carefully rounded characters, and a beautifully paced storyline equally moving and light-hearted at the right moments. What sets this children’s fantasy apart from others is perhaps the concepts and creatures in the stories, the messages delivered, and the ending, which is sure to break your heart.
