Publisher's Note: the chapter breaks are perfect for building suspense. Children s Book News Cary Fagan s first short novel for young readers is as magical as its subject matter. It s full of playful mischief it s also an empowering story for young readers, for boys who don t want to follow in their father s career footsteps and girls who do, and for children who long to express themselves creatively. Quill & Quire With its amusing touch of melodrama, this story is clever and fun and because of its almost picture-book size, and many ink drawings accentuating the Parisian atmosphere and culture, it s one of those rare books to bridge the wide gap between picture books and full-scale novels. The Toronto Star As he did in The Market Wedding, Fagan has created a solid world of real people within a Jewish folklore tradition. Cybčle Young perfectly captures the Edwardian feel of Paris in the Gay 90s. Ottawa Citizen Cary Fagan gives readers a wonderfully whimsical and yes, heart warming, story Cybčle Young s charming black and white illustrations give a lovely sense of the times, and overall the book is a magic trick in itself, making play of appearance and reality. Times-Colonist this book captivates and delights from its poster-like cover through to the last triumphant page. Ottawa Jewish Bulletin [a] charming tale Young s illustrations capture the spirit of this narrative Hadassah Magazine
