"Magical, exciting, and deeply moving. Lasky's perfectly constructed
fantasy is told in beautifully descriptive, soaring language, with
invented words and names feeling just right and an abundance of detailed
information about each animal's habitat, attributes, and physiology."
--Kirkus (starred review)
