"An elegant retelling of that old crucial story of finding one's place in the world, set against a vivid, evocation of the Italian Renaissance." - Robin McKinley, author of The Hero and the Crown, winner of the Newbery Medal
"I don't just like Passion Blue, I love it… it has adventure, arguments, soul-searching, villains, romance, hair-breadth escapes, dastardly betrayals, and girl power. I simply galloped through it." - Jane Yolen, author of The Devil's Arithmetic
