Here is what reviewers have said about Anne’s book:
“Like a fairy-tale heroine, Hazel traverses the woods without a breadcrumb trail to save a boy who may not want to be saved in this multi-layered, artfully crafted, transforming testament to the power of friendship. -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“The evocative magical landscape, superbly developed characters (particularly dreamy, self-doubting, determined Hazel and lost Jack), and the piercing sadness of a faltering childhood friendship give this delicately written fantasy wide and lingering appeal.” -Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books, STARRED REVIEW
“The creepy fantasyland that Hazel traverses uses bits from other Andersen tales to create a story that, though melancholy, is beautifully written and wholly original.” –Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
“A strange, amazing, sad, thoughtful, one-of-a-kind original. You will find no other book out there quite like this one, no matter how hard you try.” –Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8 Full review
