Critics Review
Spring 2017 Kid’s Indie Next Pick
A Spring 2017 Kids’ Indie Next Pick
“Enchanting.”
—GirlsLife.com
“From the outstanding cover to the ending ripe for a sequel, Horwitz has much to be proud of with this title, and younger teens in particular will rip through its pages.”
—Locus
“Well-developed characters and a steampunk setting set the stage for this series starter, which is driven by mystery, action, and fairy dust. Incorporating science and danger, this magic-infused adventure carries broad appeal.”
—Booklist
“Magical stagecraft, steampunk mechanisms, and glittering faerie dust intermesh in a debut middle-grade fantasy. This adventure overflows with imaginative conceits. Carmer makes for a charming hero—clever, compassionate, and exceedingly humble … the insidious creepy horror and galloping pace are effective, right up to the unexpectedly gruesome fate of the nefarious evildoers … undeniable potential.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The main characters have distinct personalities and the plot is original … the way technology and magic must both be used to solve the problem will result in thoughtful reader reflection.”
—School Library Journal
