Brimming with imagination and hope for the future * Catherine Doyle, bestselling author of The Storm Keeper's Island * There's nothing so rare as a fantasy that elicits genuine wonder and that uses marvelous things to enrich a child's appreciation of ordinary ones. So Lev Grossman's novel The Silver Arrow is something special. Here is an adventure story for 8- to 12-year-olds that's bursting with life and real feeling, told in a sparkling, informal style that parents will find effortless to read aloud * Wall Street Journal * This gentle introduction to the complexities of life on this planet is a critical reminder not to despair over the enormity of human responsibility but to face it with joy and marvel at the magic that the world holds. It's a kind and clear message that all children-and their grownups-should take to heart * Booklist * Both cozy and inspiring, this eco-fable conveys both grim truths and a defiant call to action * Kirkus * I loved every page. This is middle grade fiction at its best * Ann Patchett *
