"The Language of Spells is so many wonderful things, I don't even
know where to start." --Books4YourKids
"A friendship between a child named Maggie and a dragon named
Grisha is at the heart of this transportive, adventure-filled book
about magic, connection, and shared history."--Southern Living
"A magical tale of marvels and a marvelous tale of magic. The
Language of Spells reads-and feels-like a classic of children's
literature." -Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor-winning author of The
Inquisitor's Tale and A Tale Dark and Grimm
"An extraordinary tale that meshes real historical events with a
winning cast of magical creatures... an ideal read-aloud that
fantasy lovers of all ages can enjoy." --BookPage
"If you've never believed in magic, this spellbinding adventure may
change your mind." --The Mercury News
"Offers eccentric charm, sweetness, life lessons, Latin, and more
than a bit of heartbreak." --Common Sense Media
"Reading Garret's story was like being with an old friend. Where
there are dragons, there is a story; let this lovely tale weave its
spell."-Kathi Appelt, author of National Book Award Finalist and
Newbery Honor book The Underneath
"What a writer! What a setting! So many gorgeous sentences! I loved
it. The enchantment of a tender, empowering friendship builds so
softly, so gradually, and with so much force that, before you
realize what's happened, you've gone over the edge and there's no
turning back. A coming of age tale combined with an ageless
fantasy. Wise and sweet, sharp and dear, a poem of a story. "
-Karen Romano Young, author of Hundred Percent and Doodlebug
"Young readers will gravitate to Grisha and Maggie, and, sadly,
smile at the book's poignant ending." -VOYA
