Reviews

A compelling fantasy adventure. **** -- Books For Keeps 20100501 Myth and magic is beautifully sustained and this is a book to enchant anyone who loves a fairy story. -- School Librarian 20100701 A novel refreshingly, and often humorously, off-beat. -- Book Fest Guide 20100901

Author description

Rebecca Anderson was born in Uganda, raised in Ontario, went to school in New Jersey, and has spent much of her life dreaming of other worlds entirely. As a child she immersed herself in fairy tales, mythology, and the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit; later she discovered more contemporary authors like Ursula LeGuin, Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley, and learned to take as much pleasure from their language as the stories they told. Now married and the mother of three young sons, Rebecca reads to her children the classic works of fantasy and science fiction that enlivened her own childhood, and tries to bring a similar sense of humor, adventure, and timeless wonder to the novels she writes for children and young adults.
