What They're Saying
Critics Review
ALA GNCRT Best Graphic Novels For Children List 2021
“The colorful trinkets, flat backgrounds, and lax line-work provide a fun, simple atmosphere for Daisy to explore, and while the introduction provides historical context, even readers uninterested in Elizabethan England will enjoy following this young, likable witch on her daring adventure” * Booklist *
“With the energy and humor of stories like Nimona and Kiki’s Delivery Service, Smith’s art is bright and colorful, featuring characters with wide, expressive eyes […] For kids, teens, and even grown-ups who delight in historical fantasy about witches, palace intrigue, and girls learning to trust their own power” * School Library Journal *
“Dickson introduces promising relationships to develop across the series’ comic game of thrones” * Publishers Weekly *
“The Queen’s Favorite Witch is lively, funny, compassionate, endearing, engrossing, clever, and very well drawn, and uses history creatively and mischievously in the way that good fantasy fiction should” * Professor Ronald E Hutton, M.A.(Cantab.), D.Phil.(Oxon.), F.R.Hist.S., F.S.A., FLSW, FBA, Professor *
