"A gently philosophical take on how the future can affect the present." -- Katy Guest Independent on Sunday Books of the Year "Witty, touching and clever." -- Sally Morris Daily Mail "Beautifully and simply told despite the fact that the story they tell is complex and thought-provoking. This is a great book." -- Julia Eccleshare LoveReading4Kids "This is one of the most impressive children's books I've read in a long time. The writing (is) delicate yet robust, full of insight, compassion and wisdom. Stead manages to describe complex emotions in a fresh and original manner." -- Sarah Webb Irish Independent "A satisfying read that should remain popular as long as the classic A Wrinkle In Time to which it pays homage."
