Review Quotes

"This book mixes elements of fantasy with history, mystery, and adventure, but it is, at its core, a coming-of-age story. Rosie blossoms when she starts to let her walls down, and the supporting characters who eventually become her friends round out the story. The school and the island are fantastic settings: readers will be bursting to visit Bloodstone Island, with its rare creatures and old secrets. If an English boarding school on an island full of wild, rare animals isn't enough to grab readers, Rosie Frost, an empowering new heroine, certainly will." --School Library Journal

"This contemporary, girl-power story has light paranormal and fantastical elements and is fueled by a captivating mystery and adventure. It also features quick pacing, fun and engaging worldbuilding, and a lead character who is easy to root for. Exuberant, action-packed, and warmhearted." --Kirkus Reviews

"[A]n effervescent fantasy series . . . smart twists rooted in real-life history add excitement, and Anne Boleyn's indomitable spirit literally and figuratively haunts this lively debut, inspiring Rosie and propelling the tale's feminist, eco-preservationist message." --Publishers Weekly
