Review Quotes

Praise for Fairies vs. Leprechauns:

[T]his story focuses on interspecies diplomacy, complex personal motivations, and ultimately a surprising recognition of Oona's increasing competency and cooperative nature." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for A Boy in the Fairy World:

"This second installment of Bramblegoopian misadventures is filled with delightfully off-kilter schemes, set in a world that blends the quirky with the cute. Flowery, slug-speckled illustrations and footnotes with facts about the fairy world enhance the upbeat narrative and leave Oona poised to play detective in what promises to be an equally humorous third outing. . . Fun, funky, and imaginative." --Kirkus Reviews

"The magical silliness and light potty humor, along with the many underwear references, make the story enticing to all demographics. Altés's illustrations feel childlike and add to the whimsy and play of the overall piece. This series sequel is a strong addition." --School Library Journal
