Recensione:
"Astonishing" (The Sunday Times)
"Van Allsburg adeptly turns an oddball historical footnote into an accessible adventure story . . . and Van Allsburg's trademark sepia-toned pencil drawings are, as always, superb." (New York Times)
"Fascinating...artfully illustrated with intelligence and sophistication." (The School Librarian)
"A fabulous story, narrated through vivid prose and juxtaposed with Allsburg's sepia art work, which is deeply evocative of early 20th-century America." (Vanessa Lewis The Bookseller)
"An unusual, stunning and inspirational book." (jake Hope The Bookseller)
