The Amber Amulet Bewertungen

Quirky, illustrated and weirdly charming. * Vogue *
It is, after all, intended to be a small book, and a slight book, but does nonetheless manage a complexity that's as strange and fragile as Liam himself. * The Australian *
This short, stylish story is packed with all the warmth and crossover humour usually only found in a Pixar film... A wonderful little book. * We Love This Book *
