"Creating sweeping and dreamy watercolors that play with emotion and color, Phelan is an exquisite visual storyteller, and he lets expressive, wordless sequences carry a large portion of his interpretation. With a keen historical slant, a bit of action and intrigue, high visual interest, and the fairy-tale leaning, this will awe a wide readership. Brilliant."
KIRKUS REVIEWS (Star)
"Phelan delivers a spectacular 20th century update... exquisite" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (Star)
"A stunning, genre-bending graphic novel for all middle grade and middle school collections."
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (Star)
"The visuals are deeply effective: entire sections are wordless, propelling the reader through dramatic scenes and inviting reflection during quiet, contemplative spots... sharp lines and shadow heighten tension and expanses of open white space sometimes draw the eye to a specific scene."
BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS (Star)
"...an original and darkly beautiful take on the classic tale."
