Trade ReviewMoers' creative mind is like J. K. Rowling's on Ecstasy * Detroit Evening News *
Moers' writing is alluring, to say the least. He writes with as much detail as he draws, and his vivid imagination is matched by his ability to pace a story and create interesting characters * The State (South Carolina) *
Moers' drawings...are fantastic, in both definitions of the word, but what's truly appealing is the world that he creates in this marvelous tale of adventure and self-discovery... It's less a text and more an imagination on paper * Philadelphia Inquirer *
Parodic and sincere, slapstick and heart-tugging by turns, Moers's novel has fresh things to say on the nature of heroism and nobility * Washington Post *
