Reviews

The inherent humor of finding a mysterious hole and then exploring its depths is a distinct enticement, but it’s the relationship between Betsy and Philippa (and then, in time, Betsy and Nelson) that gives the book its heart and soul. . . .A journey into the unknown yields friends both old and new in a tale that’s one part diverting and two parts charming. —Kirkus Reviews
