“A collection of magical, weird and mysterious stories...While each tale seems like a sliver of a larger story we'll never learn, we get the impression that we're hearing the best part.” New York Times Book Review
“Gwendoline Christie is positively spellbinding as the first-person narrator of this dreamlike story…Original music for each loosely connected story sets a distinct mood…The effect is mesmerizing…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“This title is unique in its appeal and would be a valuable addition to middle grade, young adult, and adult/general interest collections alike.” School Library Journal
“The book offers affecting moments of discovery and loss—like the solitary experience of peering through a kaleidoscope and watching it fracture and change.” Publishers Weekly
