"Baker (the Frog Princess series) gives this series starter a familiar, Disney feel, which will engage younger readers, while themes of courage and self-acceptance give it a powerfully positive message." -- Booklist "Aislin is unfailingly brave and resourceful . Baker's world building is perfectly attuned to young sensibilities as she presents a realm of physical beauty, interspecies harmony, and mixed-race familial love for readers to visit and for Aislin to call home." - BCCB "Aislin's journey to self-acceptance is rewarding, and readers will easily draw parallels between Aislin's world and their own." - Publishers Weekly "Whenever Aislin heads outdoors, the author's gift for synthesizing nature and magic comes into play. A quirky, imaginative tale." -- Kirkus Reviews "Self-esteem building in a lively package for younger middle grade readers who enjoy light magical adventure tales." - School Library Journal "Full of fun and whimsy.

A delightful romp through a truly unique fairy tale world!" -- Jessica Day George, New York Times bestselling author of Tuesdays at the Castle, on The Fairy-Tale Matchmaker "Annie is an enjoyable, independent, and undaunted character, who uses wits and skills rather than spells in her endeavors." -- Kirkus Reviews on A Question of Magic "Slyly combines fairy-tale tropes . The humor and relationships created by Baker are happily reminiscent of such classics as Howl's Moving Castle ." -- Kirkus on A Question of Magic "Baker's . vividly imagined fantasy world . [is] irresistible and loaded with humor." -- VOYA on Once Upon a Curse.
