Critics Review
“[A] beguiling coming-of-age story … with magical elements and moments, from helpful breezes to enticing old stories, from the everyday glory of a cloud of fluff whirling above a field of dandelions to a dazzling golden transformation at the climax that will leave readers entranced.” —Booklist
“A journey shaped by danger, secrecy, and the possibility of magic and unexpected alliances… Linguistically precise, developmentally appropriate, and instructionally rich for middle grade readers, this title is a strong addition to any library or classroom.” —School Library Journal
“Compelling twists … intriguing surprises.” —Kirkus Reviews
“An immersive high-stakes adventure full of hope and wonder… Brimming with unexpected twists, this will remind young readers to believe in the magic within themselves and shape their own destiny.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
