***

A celebration of the magical bonds that unite children!

When her two big sisters embark on an adventure to explore a mysterious island, the youngest one doesn’t want to be left behind. What shines through from this funny story’s gut-wrenchingly scary beginning (“There was a terrible plane crash!”) to its sweet and satisfying ending is LINIERS’s admiration for the imaginative powers of childhood.

"Argentine American cartoonist Liniers applies both conventions of magical realism and a keen understanding of how children’s minds work to this weird and wonderful story. Like children’s backyard play, sheer delight." —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

"A charming celebration of nature, siblinghood, and imaginative play." —the Horn Book Magazine, STARRED REVIEW
