Media Reviews

Publishers Weekly In poetic prose, Stewart and Riddell invent the magical realm that culminates at the Edge....The narrative will cast a spell over readers from the beginning with its utterly odd, off-kilter sense of logic and a vocabulary that is equal parts Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll Ages 10-12.   The Guardian (UK) Stunningly original.   The Guardian (UK) Stunningly original.   The Literary Review (UK) A richly inventive fantasy . . . one of the most exciting collaborations between a writer and illustrator for a long time.
