Critics Review
A powerful tale of compassion and understanding between a girl and a so-called monster. Sunny is the heroine who inspires us all to build a gentler, kinder world. * Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear *A richly drawn study of empathy, curiosity and kindness – I loved every minute of it. * Beth Lincoln, New York Times bestselling author of The Swifts *A spectacular debut, full of adventure and bravery. Sunny and Mo have stolen a piece of my heart. * Clare Harlow, author of Tidemagic: The Many Faces of Ista Flit *A heart-warming tale packed with mystery, magic and monsters. Tender and thought-provoking. * Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song and Saving Neverland *A superb new voice in children’s fiction, Orwin’s writing is beautifully balanced between clarity, heart-tugging emotion and grippingly tense action. Sunny is a memorable, loveable character, finding her way in an atmospheric post-apocalyptic world that might just be saved by her sensitivity and courage. * Liz Flanagan, author of Dragon Daughter *
