About this title

Review:

"Once in a great while a book comes along that is so powerful and so wise that you want to shout about it." --Madeleine L'Engle, bestselling author of A Wrinkle in Time

"Barron has woven a boldly original novel that is as thought-provoking as it is fun to read." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"Mortality, in all its splendor and sadness, is T.A. Barron's subject... Fantasy mavens will find plenty here to enthrall them." --The New York Times Book Review

"Save a tree, save history! Barron fuses concerns over the natural world with fantasy lit."
--The Huffington Post, "The 9 Best Trees in Literature"

"Absorbing story, vital characters -- and also a pioneering work opening paths we didn't know were there." --Lloyd Alexander, National Book Award winning author
