Reviews / Votes
"The genius of these books lies in the simple but original kid details that keep the focus firmly on the young characters. . . . An affecting early chapter book with a hopeful-if not yet altogether happy-ending."-The Horn Book Magazine "The honest portrayal of powerful childhood emotions is the cornerstone of [Lagercrantz's] writing, and it makes this story wholly engaging and ultimately cathartic. . . . A memorable addition to the Dani series."-Booklist "Eriksson's delightful black-and-white drawings help to soften the severity of the subject matter, as their sweetness comes through the characters' expressions. Though this title is more serious than the first two installments, those who are fans of Dani will applaud her resiliency and attitude."-School Library JournalMore details
