"The effortless quiet of McGhee's words is beautifully matched by Yoo's picture...There's more than enough magic in these pages...for young readers and for their parents, who might otherwise give up on finding anything truly enchanting about Halloween." - The New York Times Book Review

“This sophisticated picture book is rich with imagination… More personal, quiet, and transcendent than most Halloween books, this is not a call to witchcraft, but rather to following one’s heart.”—Booklist

“Like its protagonist, this book soars.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“This gentle, lyrical tale, written in the unusual poetic stanzas of a medieval sestina, recounts a young trick-or-treater’s dogged attempts to make her dreams of flight come true. …This is a quieter, more reflective addition to Halloween collections that offers an enchanting storytime read-aloud.”—School Library Journal

"Beneath the vintage spooky setting lies a subtle message about perseverance and individuality."—Publishers Weekly

"It's an enchanting book that makes a compelling point about the perseverance needed to follow your dreams. It's not hard to imagine such a potent message resonating with young readers this Halloween" - BookPage
