Critics Review
“Astonishing” * The Sunday Times *
“Van Allsburg adeptly turns an oddball historical footnote into an accessible adventure story … and Van Allsburg’s trademark sepia-toned pencil drawings are, as always, superb.” * New York Times *
“Fascinating…artfully illustrated with intelligence and sophistication.” * The School Librarian *
“A fabulous story, narrated through vivid prose and juxtaposed with Allsburg’s sepia art work, which is deeply evocative of early 20th-century America.” – Vanessa Lewis * The Bookseller *
“An unusual, stunning and inspirational book.” – jake Hope * The Bookseller *
