Critics Review
The omniscient third-person narration uses child-friendly language… .An accessible exploration of belonging and acceptance with a well-developed setting.
—Kirkus Reviews
This take on Burnett’s beloved novel will … charm readers enamored with reimagined classics and stories of the rich and famous.
