Reseñas de la Crítica

"It's hard not to love a book dedicated to the Glee star's grandmother...Colfer gets off many good lines [and] the nifty ending ties the plot's multiple strands up while leaving room for further fairy tale adventures." (Publishers Weekly)

wonderful

loved the story! appropriate for kids yet relevant fantasy. rising over repression, finding oneself, and caring for others are main themes

A well deserved prequel

When you hear prequel, you go oh no, the author done messed up. I fell in love with the fairytale world with Alex and Conner. I have been waiting for the next chapter with the granddaughter, but this book made me realize that I wanted more, the origin of Alex and Conner’s grandmother without knowing it. Colfer’s ability to create a masterpiece is just breathtaking. He is a true gem. Still blown away with this and can’t wait to listen to it again. Hoping for more.... Past or future.....

amazingly relevant

This book may be one of my new favorites. While seemingly about a young girl and her quest to find her calling in life, this story has a strong undercurrent of the struggles those who find themselves in the minority experience and how they must stand together to overcome hatred, discrimination and ignorance. I found myself wanting to post quotes of passages that are so important for humanity to hear right now! Chris Colfer, you are my new hero.
