Reviews
"This book is self-aware, playing with common fantasy tropes, thus reinvigorating the familiar underlying story of a loner having to learn to overcome her fears to save the ones she loves...A fun, fast read with broad appeal." — School Library Journal (starred review)
"Readers will not want to stop reading this quirky, fast-paced adventure until reaching its satisfactory, heartwarming conclusion...Funny, warm, and highly imaginative." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Young fantasy fans will find much to appreciate in this unusual look at the power of dreams, and what can happen when you are one of the rare few who can bring them to life." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
"Durst makes the most of a truly creative premise in a novel filled with wit, empathy, and over-the-top dream moments come to life." — Publishers Weekly
