Quotes

“A thoroughly delicious romp from the author of Ella Enchanted. The plot is winningly unpredictable, the characters easy to relate to, the humor subtle and the action well-paced. Newbery Honor winner Levine has once again breathed new life into old stories.”
 


—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
 
"Readers are certain to be pulled, like Elodie herself, right into the midst of the rich and swirling life of Two Castles."


—School Library Journal
"Levine's strength lies in her transparent language and the candid, uncomplicated voice of her narrator, who brings younger readers along with her as she questions assumptions, grows in friendship, works out the mystery, and makes brave escapes."


—The Horn Book
“With a faint echo of Puss in Boots, Levine crafts a persuasive fantasy realm and a capable heroine. Readers should enjoy watching Elodie hone her powers of deduction to unravel the mystery of the ogre’s sudden disappearance, and will likely anticipate further sleuthing adventures with this companionable duo.”


Publishers Weekly
Praise for Ever:
“The power of love and courage to overcome seemingly impossible odds and to bridge ostensibly untraversable differences are at the heart of this compelling, intensely satisfying fantasy.”


School Library Journal (starred review)
 
Praise for Ever:
“Levine’s (Ella Enchanted) original mythological tale works as romance, adventure and exploration of faith. She conducts a riveting journey, offering passion and profound pondering along the way.”
 


Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
Praise for Ever:
“An action-packed love story set in an elaborate, challenging world, this richly imagined story will engage fantasy and romance readers alike.”


—ALA Booklist
Praise for Ever:
“The striking beauty of the Mediterranean-like landscape sets the stage for heroic quests and romantic picnics, adding atmosphere to this compelling tale.”


The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Praise for Ever:
“Strong and good.”


Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Fairest:
“Readers will instantly fall in love with the heroine, whose heart proves to be as warm as her voice.”


Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
Praise for Fairest:
“Readers will enjoy the fairy-tale setting while identifying with the real-life problems of living in an appearance obsessed society. A distinguished addition to any collection.”


School Library Journal (starred review)
 
Praise for Fairest:
“Readers will sink into the fairy-tale romance, the remarkable characters, and the wild, magical adventures.”
 


—ALA Booklist
Praise for Fairest:
“A song-filled, fast-paced fairy tale.”


Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Ella Enchanted:
“This refreshing take on one of the world’s most popular fairy tales preserves the spirit of the original but adds plenty of humorous twists and a spunky, intelligent female lead.”


Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
 
Praise for Ella Enchanted:
“A thoroughly enchanting novel that deepens and enriches the original tale.”


School Library Journal (starred review)
