“In seven interconnected short stories, first-time author Theule transports readers to an isolated farm whose owner, Bald, has just died, sparking conflicts that leave nothing and no one unscathed, whether human, animal, flower, or fairy…The sometimes-comic, sometimes-gruesome events and eerie rural setting call to mind the short-lived cartoon Courage the Cowardly Dog.”
— Publishers Weekly
Quotes
-
“Comprised of seven stories by the same author. It is fantasy, and middle school students who like animal fantasy may enjoy it.”
— VOYA -
“The tales link together across the space of a single day, at the end of which peace reigns on the farm. Tonally these read a bit like folk or fairy tales, but the edges are sharp… Strange and strangely compelling, this is one of those books that needs the right reader—who will eat it up.”
— Kirkus Reviews
