Editorial Reviews

Spring 2017 Kids' Indie Next List — "Inspired Recommendations for Kids from Indie Booksellers" "Napoli (Dark Shimmer) and Wiesner (Mr. Wuffles!) create a plot that crackles, and Wiesner’s graceful, classically proportioned artwork makes the story’s fantastical elements clear and believable."  —Publishers Weekly "A thought-provoking work that is not to be missed."  —Kirkus —
