"""[Leila's] inner turmoil is thoughtfully woven into the unexpected adventure ahead of her . . . . Frston's cyan-toned, mixed-media artwork [captures] the vast icy environs. Without being heavy-handed, Hargrave folds into observations about climate change and draws parallels between animal and human migrations. Fans of creators' Julia and the Shark will happily find a similar reading experience in this character-driven Arctic adventure.""--Booklist ""This novel lightly, compassionately, and subtly prompts reflection on the interconnectedness of all beings as we navigate life's challenges and the importance of sharing stories and transcending borders. A reverent, wondrous feast for the senses and a balm for bruised souls.""--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW"
