"Thin-lined watercolor and ink illustrations by Wilsdorf.... combine a Victorian floral sensibility with an action-packed arc, resulting in small-scale-focused visuals that are equal parts magical and impish." --Publishers Weekly
"Soft watercolor and ink illustrations match the text's fanciful tone; the engaging pond creatures bring liveliness to this magical world." --The Horn Book
