Reviews
“With masterful storytelling and lush, lyrical prose, Low spins a tale that feels at once fresh and timeless, creating a world that readers will never want to leave.”—Katie Zhao, author of The Dragon Warrior and Winnie Zeng series “Whimsical, lyrical, and effortlessly readable . . . A powerful reminder that while it’s important to hold onto the quiet, everyday magic we often overlook, it’s just as—if not more—important to hold onto the people who make the ordinary feel magical.” —Kyla Zhao, author of May the Best Player Win
