Reviews
Fans of the earlier books will be excited about Cici’s latest escapade.
School Library Journal
Doerrfeld and Page’s colorful cartoon illustrations are lively with fantastic creatures, woodsy settings, and shimmery magic, and Cici’s fairy sight, which reveals the true nature of her family members, is a fun visual trick—her father, for instance, is a bear, while her mother has tentacles. With a cozy, meaningful message and a charming Latina protagonist, this easy-reading volume is a great pick for elementary-schoolers eager for fantasy comics.
