Rezensionen
In this soaring coming-of-age novel, Alex brings up her younger cousin Beatrice, awakening to independence, feminism, and identity as she navigates Bea's urge to "dragon". Fans of modern feminist classics such as The Power will find much to admire here, for teenage readers and beyond. Fiona Noble The Observer
