This magical mystery tour of an adventure quest is written with a profound understanding of the human condition and all the ways people (and magical ships and mannequins) try to avoid the pull of their deepest needs. An extraordinarily profound and far-reaching coming-of-age story. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A combination of James and the Giant Peach and Pixar's Inside Out.This remarkable fantasy remains grounded in dry humor and emotional truth. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Kirsten's fantastical adventure on the high seas is a true treasure to read -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Thoughtful swashbuckling fantasy." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This inventive book proceeds with a wonderful air of whimsy and humor. An enthralling adventure packed with history and heart." -- Booklist Praise for Storm: "Centered around the theme of allowing oneself to feel and experience anger, sadness, and pain rather than shoving them down, it challenges societal norms of adults "tidying up" kids' feelings.

A hauntingly memorable mixture of humor and honest emotion." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Skinner's poignant story of Frankie's ordinary and heartbreaking afterlife tackles grand themes of love, forgiveness, friendship, and even the meaning of life. A perfect book for fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline and The Graveyard Book." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review).
