★ "Equal parts fantasy, romance, and mystery, this book shimmers with an irresistible energy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)★ "Sophisticated and complex. A necessary novel that is, at the same time, so enjoyable to read that teens will have to fight the urge to crawl into the pages." -- School Library Journal (starred review)"A tale that combines sumptuous old-fashioned storytelling and modern feminist themes." -- Chicago Tribune "A fanciful, whimsical novel. Leno mixes small-town island life and the loving bond between sisters with light magical elements as well as weightier issues that are examined with nuance and maturity." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
