Review Quotes

"Fans of Roald Dahl or the Clover Twig series may find some new favorite characters here." --BCCB

"Wickedly fun." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"If you like mind-boggling adventures filled with brilliant illustrations and strange talking animals, then do not hesitate to pick up this brilliant book." --The Guardian

"This brims with quirky charm reminiscent of Eva Ibbotson, Joan Aiken and early JK Rowling." --The Times

"Roberts' stylized cartoony illustrations--mostly of cute bunnies--scatter over almost every page, adding a delightful touch to the madcap caper. Emily is a nononsense, brave girl detective, and young readers looking for silly magical adventures will find much to love. Want more? You're in luck: this is the first title in the Wings & Co. series." --Booklist

"This first brisk, entertaining series entry leaves enough dangling threads to make readers eager for the next." --The Horn Book

"It should appeal to readers who enjoy whimsy without a lot of stressful conflict. Highlights are the charming Briticisms as well as the merry, slightly off-kilter black-and-white illustrations-especially the depiction of Harpella, who resembles a pointier, more deranged version of Lady Gaga." --School Library Journal
