Critics Review
“A great spin on Alcott’s work with a slightly eerie vibe that’s perfect for Halloween.” * –Booklist *
“A powerful ending, which acknowledges that everyone’s a bit strange at the edges and allows a girl who has held too much for too long to become soft in her wildness, will have readers hoping that Roche pulls an Alcott and writes sequels.” * –BCCB *
“This innovative offering quickly establishes its own distinctive identity, blending monster mythology with coming-of-age themes to deliver an affectionate spin on Alcott’s classic.” * –Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW *
“an engaging story that will captivate the imaginations of youth interested in mystery and horror without having too much scare factor.” * –School Library Journal *
