"Bo, with her face-filling eyes, resembles Woollvin's other fearless female protagonists; together, they seem to be rewriting the rules one fairy tale at a time." —Publishers Weekly"Striking. . . [a] winning alternative to the traditional monster-slaying adventure story." —The Horn Book Magazine★ "A great book to delve into what heroes are made of. Highly recommended for elementary libraries." —School Library Journal, Starred Review"Magnificent endpapers. . . As always, Woollvin wields a simple yet stunning color palette. . . Bo herself is a headstrong heroine, bearing a bow, net, sword, and, most important, confidence, that young readers will enjoy. A fun and colorful gateway into the world of medieval fantasy." —Booklist |
