Praise for The Very Last Castle

**STARRED REVIEW** "A lovely story about courage and community with a darling protagonist."
Kirkus Reviews

Minimal, unadorned text mixes with watercolor and pen-and-ink pictures to create an appealing protagonist who has an admirable, self-possessed curiousness and always wears big yellow boots—readers can almost hear her clomping confidently through the pages.
Publishers Weekly

Appealing illustrations done in pen-and-ink and watercolor round out this stellar read-aloud and add to its subtle humor.
