Praise for One for All:

"A rollicking whirlwind of an adventure novel." --NPR

"Among the book's many strengths is its character development, fleshing out each individual with their own charms, quirks, and flaws . . . Lainoff's debut is a rare treat, telling an honest story about a disabled protagonist in a historical setting without infantilizing the character or glossing over her experience . . . An unforgettable mystery and dashing story woven from threads of chosen family and sisterhood along with bravery, loyalty, and heart." --Booklist, starred review

"Amid suspenseful spying and code-breaking, Lainoff deftly explores chronic illness and internalized ableism; others' ignorant comments and Tania's struggles with pervasive self-doubt are painfully realistic. The Musketeers' unwavering support is heartwarming . . . An insightful, affirming tale of swordplay and sisterhood." --Kirkus Reviews

"A thrilling retelling of The Three Musketeers that puts disabled and LGBTQIA+ women in the foreground as the heroes, this book has something for every reader to enjoy." --School Library Journal

"An action-packed, enthralling adventure." --Buzzfeed

Lainoff is a fierce new talent to watch out for." --Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked

"One For All is a reimagining that is both poignant and fiery--and like no other Musketeer story you have ever read. Just like the blade her teen protagonist Tania wields, Lainoff's prose is effortlessly precise, fluid, and sharp . . . a breathtaking adventure story set in the past that also speaks to our present and future--the best type of historical fiction. Tania's story is for anyone who has wondered how to carve a path through a world that does not accommodate your whole self." --Tracy Deonn, New York Times-bestselling author of Legendborn

"A rousing tale of lady spies, swordplay, with a dash of romance. Tania is a formidable heroine, driven to carve out a place for herself among the musketeers. Lillie Lainoff has crafted a story as thrilling and compelling as any fencing match." --Emily Lloyd-Jones, author of The Bone Houses
