Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A deliciously creepy tale...There is a vividness and energy to Hardinge’s imagination that makes almost every moment of this absorbing story shine with light or glossy darkness.” (Horn Book (starred review))

“Richly layered with fine, figurative language, quirky but believable characters and old magic . . . there’s no denying Hardinge’s power as a storyteller.” (Booklist (starred review))

“A dark, polished gem.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Deliciously shiver-inducing...Fans of dark fantasies such as Neil Gaiman’s Coraline will find this tale irresistible.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
