‘A bubbling cauldron of mystical tension.’ Daily Mail’s Best Summer Children’s Reads 2020
‘Hypnotic and original use of language brings Wilde’s world vividly to life and instantly transports you to the extreme heat of a midsummer drought and all the bad-tempered imaginings that might come with it. This is a story of suspicion and superstition, of bullying and friendship, and of fear of the unknown. But mainly it’s a story about being weird and different and how both of those things can not only be good – they might actually make you who you are meant to be.’ BookTrust
‘Intense, brooding, and atmospheric this is a beautifully told story of friendship and betrayal.’ 4 stars, Books for Keeps
‘An enchanting and enthralling story about the magic created by the blend of belonging and individuality.’ 5 stars, ReadingZone
‘written with an obvious love of old legends, the sense of place in the book is palpable and Wilde is a delightful lead character – well drawn and thoroughly engaging.’ Tricia Adams, Lovereading4schools Book of the Month
‘KS2 children will devour Wilde, and it’s also a great transition book for year 6. If the goal is to get children reading for pleasure, then they won’t find more pleasure in many other books than Wilde.’ Roy James, Just Imagine
‘I loved this contemporary adventure of witches, curses, identity and belonging, from Wales’ children’s laureate.’ Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
A spookily good adventure that will hold children spellbound. Bewitching.’ Children’s Book of the Week, South Wales Evening Post
‘Completely gripped by Wilde’s fight to find acceptance and friendship, from within herself as well as from others. Full of courage and kindness, and rich with the power of nature, loved it.’ Amy Wilson
