“In goofy and dramatic pictures, Tim Miller captures the descent into this land of a young coin-fancier named Collin, his tussles with the toothy monster, and the odd fellowship that develops between them.”—The Wall Street Journal
A surprising book that is a little scary and more than a little deep, Margarash is about a young boy and a seemingly-nasty monster who realize they need each other.
“The illustrations by Tim Miller are very unique, sparse in odd, muted tones befitting the insides of a sofa. This is a gem, not to be missed. … A perfect book! It reads like a modern-day fairy tale though it has the feeling of age about it: children confronting and outsmarting monsters - and the best part - befriending monsters.”—STARRED REVIEW, Katrina Yurenka, Youth Services Book Review
“My kids love this book. No. They do. They LOVE this book. … The story involves a monster that lives beneath all the couch cushions in the world, taking and keeping the loose change he finds. There’s even a catchy little chant, “The coins that fall are for Margarash / Margarash / Margarash / The coins that fall are for Margarash / Leave them where they lie.” I have it memorized.” —Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal
“A captivatingly grouchy couch monster and a curious kid who gets trapped in his underworld is really the stuff picture book magic is made of. ... A perfect book to add to a Halloween collection, although we definitely will be keeping this out year round.”—The Reading Ninja
“It’s a story with the feel of a modern-day fairy tale or urban legend, one that suggests that compassion and common ground can go a long way toward making friends out of would-be enemies.” —Publisher’s Weekly
“Riddle’s prose provides a strong momentum overall, driving page turns and inspiring Miller’s whimsical, childlike illustrations, which depict the titular monster as a gray, furred creature with a comically toothy underbite. A sweet tale of a mutual passion and an unlikely friendship.”—Kirkus Reviews
