Trade Review
★ "This creative exploration of chosen family, self-knowledge, love, and the tension between opposites is both timely and timeless. Dazzling." —Kirkus, STARRED "Cornwell (The Forest Queen) retells 'Snow White and Rose Red,' placing the classic fairy tale against a lushly imagined circus backdrop....the story tackles crucial themes—including the importance of found family and the dangers of religious fundamentalism—while navigating complex familial relationships and delivering a rich atmosphere." —Publishers Weekly "This is a delicately lovely reimagining of the fairy tale 'Snow White and Rose Red'....a rich range of queerness."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books —
