Tale of the Flying Forest

“An incredibly creative and compassionate case for holding on to hope and light while facing the darkest parts of the world.”–Booklist “An exciting, tender, and appealing adventure.”–Kirkus Reviews “Seamlessly integrates quotes from the Torah and prayers throughout the text….[and] makes the novel read like a fairy tale itself.”–School Library Journal “A delightful middle grade fantasy that’s really quite timeless. It’s absolutely charming, with lovely illustrations.” –Charles de Lint, award-winning author of The Cats of Tanglewood Forest “A tale for anyone who’s ever felt something was missing from their life, and what it is actually like to find it. No story has ever invited me into its pages like this. Romero’s Tale of The Flying Forest will live in my imagination forever.” –Chris Baron, author of All of Me and The Magical Imperfect “R. M. Romero’s lush, lyrical fairy tale takes us through an unforgettable mythical forest where marvels abound and menaces await, and bravery, kindness, and love can conquer all. I was enchanted by this story.”–Anne Ursu, author of Not Quite a Ghost “Rich, lyrical storytelling in a breathtakingly imaginative world. A joy to read!”–Sophie Anderson, award-winning author of The House with Chicken Legs “Romero (Death’s Country) mixes fairy tale, Jewish lore, and homage to German poet Rainer Maria Rilke in this family-driven fantasy….spun with both a feminist and Judaic twist.”–Publishers Weekly “With stunning prose and deeply relatable characters, Tale of the Flying Forest is a love letter to Jewish storytelling wrapped in a fairy-tale bow. As lyrical as a song and decadent as storybook chocolate, this story will sweep you away among its fox-shaped clouds.”–Kalyn Josephson, New York Times bestselling author of the Ravenfall series
