"The writing is lyrical, with laudable word choice, alliteration,
and imagery capturing the magic of the woods. For lovers of fairy
tales, this story of sisterhood, taking risks, and being kind is a
physically beautiful book with an appealing cover and captivating
full-color illustrations."--Kirkus Reviews
"This moody fairy tale emphasizes family, friendship, and the
powerful bond of sisterhood. Martin’s characterization of the two
contrary sisters is especially moving." --Publishers
Weekly
"Like most of the Grimm brothers’ tales, this peculiar
story carries sinister overtones, but Martin does a nice job
of keeping the dark atmosphere from overwhelming younger
readers, largely though her whimsical touches."--Booklist
