Thoroughly satisfying, with a cliffhanger ending that’s sure to
hook readers. — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Probert’s cinematic, full-color artwork is packed with inventive

Probert’s debut graphic novel is both inventive and familiar, with
unique characters in a fresh fantasy world embarking on a classic
quest. — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred
review)
Probert’s debut combines engaging fantasy elements: mysterious
enemies, fateful responsibility, and death-defying action against a
variety of foes. Detailed, jewel-colored art illuminates Irpa’s
radiance as Bea’s journey unveils sweeping landscapes, Ghibli-esque
character design, and luminous architecture. Worried Bea and
enthusiastic Cad quickly become a team that readers can root for,
and compelling unsolved mysteries demand a follow-up. — Publishers
Weekly
Majestic artwork, a burgeoning friendship, and the promise of
adventure keep the pages turning in this to-be-continued tale. —
