“A story of memory, belonging, patience, and oddly enough, recycling… Richey’s delightfully odd characters and increasingly strange landscapes cultivate a rich sense of atmosphere. Highly recommended for teens and adults who want to learn how to be brave.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Visually enticing and creative… the concept is fascinating and fresh.” — Kirkus Reviews
“The book’s distinctive art style is a detailed, appealing visual feast… a bizarre and imaginative graphic novel about growing up.” — Foreword Reviews
“This Swedish graphic novel uses color in brilliant ways… Give this genre-fluid tale to horror, science fiction, and fantasy buffs, or even realistic fiction readers who don’t mind their family explorations or coming-of-age stories souped up with some supernatural elements.” — Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books
