"Burt employs highly descriptive world building and plenty of action." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksPRAISE FOR STORY'S END: "Hits the ground running. There are a lot of compelling plotlines, and the book ends with an all-out bang." -- ALA BooklistPRAISE FOR STORYBOUND: "An appealing fantasy. Strong writing and interesting characters make Una's journey enjoyable, and the overall result will have readers on the lookout for the planned sequel." -- Publishers Weekly"A richly imagined world. Readers will enjoy the mind-bending fun of puzzling together small details." -- ALA Booklist"Readers who love fantasy may see an opportunity to snuggle up with a cup of cocoa and unravel the plot, which twists and turns in on itself, with happy surprises." -- Kirkus Reviews"With its unique twist (her roommate, for example, is a snooty Snow White), Una's adventures should charm those who enjoy fairy-tale reboots, and the cliff-hanger ending could ensure demand for a sequel." -- School Library Journal
