Compelling and Interesting | Everyone's Thinking It Review
Everyone’s Thinking It offers readers a mystery, following two estranged cousins at a predominantly white school, highlighting not only what it means to be colored but also a foreigner in a school of privilege so far away from home. Tackling cultural appropriation and racism, Aleema Omotoni did a fantastic job tackling these issues while offering up a compelling mystery for young readers.

Unexpected and Delightful | Thornhedge Review
I absolutely loved Thornhedge, again bewildered and amazed by Kingfisher and her work. Storytelling This was not the story I was expecting. However, with Kingfisher, I have learned to expect the unexpected. This is a retelling, of sorts, of Sleeping Beauty. Toadling was stolen from her human family as a child and raised by the fairies, safe and loved.
