Reviews

Praise for Everland"In an exemplary debut, Spinale uses Gwen and Hook's voices to offer glimpses into the psyche of a man desperate to please his cruel mother and a girl intent on saving the only family she has left. This is a magical, wondrous treat, with a conclusion that's nothing less than epic." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A fun and unique addition to the twisted fairy-tale genre, loaded with adventure, romance, and double crossing." --VOYA"Peter Pan goes steampunk in this debut, which twists the familiar tale into a survival story complete with well-drawn characters, a blistering plot, and plenty of adventure." --BooklistPraise for Umberland"An unpredictable page-turner spun with dread, humor, and unexpected alliances." --Kirkus Reviews"Dark in tone, desperate in intensity . . ." --Booklist"[A] captivating adventure." --School Library Connection
