Review:

“Papercutz introduces a different kind of fairy you won't find in Never-Never Land.” ―SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

“Rodrigue's perky dialogue, peppered with exclamation points, is the perfect fit for Dalena and Razzi's rainbow-hued art and swirls of fairy sparkles.” ―NO FLYING, NO TIGHTS

“In an industry where there are way too many whiny girl geniuses, sullen, mopey children of the night and Mary Sues aplenty, Nina is a likeable kid with a healthy sense of who she is, interests that are obviously gratifying to her (she boxes) and a family life that is refreshingly free of slammed doors and tearful soliloquies about how no one understands.” ―SEQUENTIAL TART

“Polished and crisp fantasy-meets-reality adventure, with hints of Disney.” ―COMIC ATTACK

“With a great cliffhanger, fast-paced action scenes and a nemesis in both the real and supernatural world, Sybil the Backpack Fairy builds a rich, inventive world that will definitely appeal to an older middle grade or teen reader.” ―SPANDEXLESS
