媒体推荐 “A promising first novel.” -- Voice of Youth Advocates
“Jonathon is a finely crafted and immensely sympathetic character who draws the reader into his adventures in self-discovery . . . [A] rich and complex first novel for teens, which mixes fantasy, adventure, and coming-of-age.” -- Starred, Booklist
“In the tradition of Robin McKinley’s The Blue Sword and Lloyd Alexander’s ‘Prydain Chronicles,’ Jonathon’s quest evokes a timeless struggle for identity amid vivid imagery, heartbreaking loss, and a subtle weave of fantasy.” -- School Library Journal
