Reviews
“The Incan empire’s four-century ascendance has inspired plenty of nonfiction and over-the-top fantasy but perplexingly little historical fiction for kids. This recommended title can help fill that void.” – Kirkus “This quiet, deeply moving story reminds readers of the true nature of beauty.” – Booklist Online “Micay’s intimate narration weaves in Quechua vocabulary and abundant references to Incan folklore, enhancing the novel’s vivid sense of time and place.” – Publishers Weekly “A gripping story of a girl who transforms from a cowed outcast into a confident leader, this will find an audience among tweens and teens beginning to question what fate has in store for them.” – Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
