Critics Review

Pulse-quickening twists and thrills will captivate readers… .An empowering tale of self-discovery, friendship, and love of the natural world.—Kirkus ReviewsIn this spirited magical adventure, Knudsen (Luigi, the Spider Who Wanted to Be a Kitten) puts a new spin on fantasy elements such as unicorns as well as contemporary ideas around transportation (some characters travel via giant moth). Bevvy is a compassionate, compelling lead across a surprise-packed plot that doesn’t shy away from such heady topics as the ethical use of magic.—Publishers WeeklyInto the Wild Magic is a love letter to readers who long to escape into a magical world—or to find the magic hidden deep within themselves.—Caroline Carlson, author of Wicked MarigoldIf you love nature, real and invented; sentient, benevolent trees; gangs of savage unicorns; and—above all—the real magic of hard-graft friendship, you are going to love Into the Wild Magic. And it’s going to love you back.—Chris Lynch, author of the Printz Honor Book FreewillAn epic tale about saving a magic world and the even more epic achievement of making a friend. I loved it!—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times best-selling author
