Review:

"Kirkus Reviews" Starred review A powerful novel -- brief and deceptively easy to read -- that's fashioned with imagination and skill.

"The Horn Book" This is an unusual love story, given depth by Voigt's great skill in characterization and by its parallels to the Greek myth on which it is based.
