Reviews

"Laced with humor, the fantastical time war plays out at a dizzying pace... with themes of reconciliation, family, identity, and destiny." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A zany, clever adventure.... Anchored by its genuine characters and buoyed by its true fun." -- Booklist (starred review)"With total mastery, Giles creates in Logan County an exuberant vortex of weirdness.... Imaginative, thrill-seeking readers, this is a series to look out for." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Fills a gaping void in children's literature.... Every child, regardless of background, deserves adventure void of trauma... deserves to exist in magical spaces... should have the freedom to be one of the Legendary Alstons. And I, for one, am grateful to Giles, and this brilliant story, for that reminder." -- Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Stuntboy, in the Meantime"The legendary heroes of this legendary book are already legendary when the story begins! From there things can only get legendary-er!" -- Tom Angleberger, New York Times bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series "Lamar Giles has written an instant classic--readers won't want their time with the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County to end." -- Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of the Lois Lane series"A page-turning magical fantasy adventure with broad appeal." -- Horn Book Magazine"Unique style and admirable substance....
