The Stars of Mount Quixx

“Fans of Diana Wynne Jones and TJ Klune will find much to love in this wholly original novel that blends science and magic, modernity and tradition, and features a sweet monster romance, found families, kooky characters, and a pair of sisters whose fraught relationship is central to their coming-of-age stories.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review“In the fantasy novel The Stars of Mount Quixx, two sisters find the courage to change each other and their community.” — Foreword Reviews“Beiko’s latest novel, The Stars of Mount Quixx, will forever lodge in my heart, alongside the other classics of storytelling magic I’ve read over the years and will never forget. It has everything I want in a fantasy, from wondrous surprise and reckless awe, to real people you love (and sometimes want to give a stern talking to) who rise to be their best selves. I can’t wait to read it again. And I will.” — Julie E. Czerneda, author of The Gossamer Mage“Quixx is a delightful and wildly inventive place, with kind monsters, monstrous humans, and eerie magic afoot. Constance and Ivory are likeable and appealing heroines, and I was totally rooting for them (and their romances!). A splendidly magical, happily queer, charmingly kind-hearted book.” — Tina Connolly, author of the Seriously Wicked trilogy
