A truly exciting novel that will appeal to lovers of historical fiction as well as adventure and detective stories. It may also entice readers who enjoy fashion history and city life.
Readers who are already fans of the genre will love trying to solve the mystery before the young protagonists do; a fine purchase for large collections or where short story anthologies are needed.
While charming in concept, this title is not a must-buy. Look instead to Amy Krouse Rosenthal's This Plus That: Life's Little Equations to fill any equation-related gaps in collections.
Although there is some foreshadowing, the suspense stays strong throughout and draws to a satisfying conclusion; boys and girls, lovers of Harry Potter, and fans of dark fairy tales will appreciate this adventure. ["For those willing to tackle a rich and layered text, there's much here to enjoy": SLJ 12/15 starred review of the Hyperion book.]
This book is not for everyone, but it will appeal to fantasy readers who enjoy enthralling descriptions of the seaside of Ireland and the magical land of Timeless. ["An unforgettable tale that begins slowly and gently, gradually and inevitably leading to a thundering crescendo": SLJ 12/15 starred review of the Dutton book.]
