"A quietly affecting and visually striking book." --The Horn Book
"A gentle, atmospheric father and son tale, this will draw kids who appreciate a touch of mysticism and the parent-kid adventure." --BCCB "Charming." --School Library Journal "*This imaginative, offbeat and original tale, lightly dusted with believable magic, perfectly captures a generous child's loyalty and dedication and ends with comfort and subtlety . . . A selection children will embrace and come back to time and time again." --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW"Deeply empathic storytelling is matched by crisp, evocative scenes of coastal life, from the ramshackle, weathered home where Noi and his father live to the endless expanse of the ocean at night." --Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
