“Mesmerizing...rich in detail, high in excitement, and filled with unforgettable characters. The haunting cover by Leo and Diane Dillon will draw readers into this fine effort.”—Booklist.

“Many years after I first encountered Wise Child, I wrote Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwife’s Apprentice. I didn’t realize until I reread Wise Child recently what a debt I owe to its author.”—Karen Cushman, from her foreward to Colman
