5 stars
Lyrical, magical, and a powerful homage to sisterhood.
A captivating read inspired by Christina Rossetti’s poem, “Goblin Market”. Rather than adapting or retelling Rossetti’s lengthy original, VanSickle’s version introduces a new set of sisters, Millie and Mina, and a fantastical market filled with tempting treats, eerie songs, and enticing scents. Follow along on this rhyming journey of adventure-loving Mina who gives into the temptation of the Goblin Market and practical Millie who must brave the market to save her sister.
Fantastically written. An engaging tale of strength, preparedness, bravery, and resilience.
Wonderful black-and-white illustrations with pops of red.
A magical new tale that celebrates sisterhood and the lengths one will go to save a loved one.
