***STARRED REVIEW*** ""Dynamic paneling imparts a cinematic atmosphere; soft line art and sprightly color palettes render evocative landscapes; and detailed character design subtly complements the graphic novel’s emotionally resonant themes of identity, family, and courage. The story’s relationships...are layered and, combined with grounded fantasy elements, result in a relatable, human story of loss, maturity, and self-discovery—a solid first entry to a promising new series"" * Publishers Weekly * ***STARRD REVIEW*** ""Her illustrations are a joy; muted pastel drawings invoke both the quiet beauty of rural life and the lyrical elegance of dragons at rest and in flight. Middle-grade readers seeking meaning and adventure will appreciate Alice’s steadfast commitment to defending and caring for these majestic beasts...At once tender and bold, a thoughtful, lovely fantasy."" * Kirkus Reviews * ""The pacing and character development is excellent, and the jewel-tone illustrations are warm and inviting. Fans of the original will recognize the familiar beats but with a magical twist. Readers new to the story will easily be immersed in this work because of the subtle and nuanced worldbuilding...A sweet way to introduce “Anne” books to newbies and a dragon fantasy for fans and potential converts."" * School Library Journal *
