Reviews
"Young’s whimsical narrative is superb. He spins a fairy tale written almost exclusively in verse that flows beautifully throughout his short tale.... The fairy-tale elements, such as magical creatures and an enchanted cloak, will appeal to a young audience, while the underlying moral questions of good and evil, the privilege of free will and the value of taking risks will intrigue readers of all ages.... While Young’s work feels inspired by Dr. Seuss and C.S. Lewis, he creates a story that is uniquely his own.
"A touching fable that speaks to readers of all ages." --Kirkus Reviews
