Description: "Features the same delightful mix of magic and everyday absurdity that characterizes [Fforde's] other books. . . . Readers both young and adult will get hours of pleasure visiting these Ununited Kingdoms." -NPR Books, online review "Fforde's foray into children's books will delight readers who like their fantasy with a dash of silliness." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "Humor abounds, but so does heart, as readers are introduced to a heroine who is practical, smart, and true." - School Library Journal, starred review "Fforde's fantasy is smart, funny, and abundantly imaginative in its critique of commercial culture. . . . Reminiscent of Pratchett in tone, this is nevertheless Fforde's own creature entirely-and entirely satisfying." - Horn Book "Fantasy readers with a taste for the silly should appreciate the subverted tropes." - Kirkus "Thoroughly entertaining . . . readers will easily sit back and enjoy the fun." - Booklist
