“A pensive retrospective from one of comics’ most talented and exciting artists.” - The AV Club; “Exhibiting a style that references Studio Ghibli and Winsor McCay, Walden displays an encyclopaedic knowledge of the genre that gives depth to the not-quite-our-reality in which her characters find themselves. Serving as a wonderful entry point for teens new to graphic novels, this collection is a gemlike encapsulation of coming-of-age narratives in gorgeous settings touched with magic.” - Kirkus; "Honest, compelling, and relatable. The emotion poured into the stories and illustrations emanates off the pages and will strike readers with its authenticity.” - School Library Connection
