Description: "Richly imagined and elegantly conveyed, this is a worthy successor to Molly's star-studded debut." -- Kirkus Reviews "A story to be cherished and read again and again." -- School Library Journal "It is the suspense of the plot that propels the reader through the story, but Stanley enriches that suspense with humor, strong sensory details, and an intelligent, engaging heroine." -- The Horn Book "The setting remains strong, and Molly and her best friend Tobias continue to be thoroughly engaging characters. An open ending promises a third volume of Molly's adventures, which will surely delight Stanley fans." -- Booklist Praise for The Silver Bowl: "Veteran Stanley concocts a delicious blend of familiar fairy-tale motifs and intriguing, well-rounded characters to create an engaging fantasy. A most worthy and enjoyable entry in the 'feisty female' fantasy genre." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for The Silver Bowl: "[T]he pacing is masterful, with new information and character development doled out in exactly the right doses, intercut with thrilling escapes and clever plots...a satisfying yarn of loyalty rewarded and mutual understanding gained." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for Saving Sky: "The main characters are well rendered and likable, and, in her portrayal of the earth-centered, nurturing Brightman family, Stanley succeeds in delivering the message that hope trumps fear." -- School Library Journal Praise for Saving Sky: "This page-turner skillfully captures the irrational fear of a public under siege while giving kids a modern-day, almost-just-like-them female hero who champions hope. Inspiring." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Bella at Midnight: "Once begun, it will be hard to put down." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for Bella at Midnight: "More than a reworking of the familiar, this is a 21st-century fairy-tale, throughly enjoyable in its own right." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for Bella at Midnight: "Stanley subtly twists strands of the Cinderella story until it's something quite new and fine." -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for Bella at Midnight: "Fans of fairy tale retellings will enjoy the fanciful twists in familiar territory, and long remember this engaging heroine, destined for a happily-ever-after life." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
