“This is a mind boggling, fast paced, entertaining novel; you won’t want to put it down.” —Karrie's Corner

“Choldenko's imagination flies high with this wacky and wonderful novel that pays homage to The Wizard of Oz ... Even if you think you can guess what's going on here, the ending will still astonish you!” —Joanne R. Fritz, Chester County Book & Music Company, West Chester, PA

“This inventive, fantastical novel is a family drama with incredible imagination. Some parts reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, others A Wrinkle in Time, but in the end, this is a wholly original and fascinating book.” —Tegan, Queen Anne Books

“I'm putting this on my list of books that I think will appear on next year's children's book award lists. Kids who liked Savvy by Ingrid Law or the City of Ember books by Jeanne DuPrau might like this extraordinary fantasy adventure.” — Bookworm Buddies
