What They're Saying

Critics Review

The world-building calls forth the atmosphere of classic fantasy worlds while invoking fun and whimsy every step of the way … Wholesome, delightful, and jam-packed with adventure * Kirkus, Starred Review *
Interweaving whimsicality with harsh realities, Foody’s middle grade debut introduces a richly realised fantasy world, populated by monsters both magnificently unknowable and all too human. A deeply immersive and auspicious series starter. * Publishers Weekly, Starred Review *
The Accidental Apprentice is an absolutely beautiful, mesmerising story about wild, thrilling adventures and accepting yourself for who you are, and it will transport you right back to your childhood. * The Nerd Daily *
