New York Times Book Review: "Varjack's gripping journey follows the classic heroic pattern. In his debut novel, S. F. Said, a young British author, combines a riveting, action-filled story for middle-grade children with the timeless wisdom of the great philosophers of the Far East....In addition to the compelling tale, the extraordinary illustrations by Dave McKean, a renowned British graphic illustrator, add depth and breadth to the story. McKean's drawings are intricately woven into the story, in black for present time and in amber for dream time. The effect is dazzling." |
