The Queen in the Cave (Júlia Sardà)

Kelsey Keith

“Fantastically illustrated tale of three sisters, the eldest on the cusp of adolescence, and their adventure into a bewitching, curious, and slightly creepy forest. A modern fairy tale, basically.”

Christa

“Illustrations are equally gorgeous and off-putting. I think this is a coming of age story but honestly I don't know. In any case, my five-year old has loved this one since she was three?”

Kaisa

“On the surface this is a story about sisters on an adventure. Beneath it are themes of growing up and the tension between childhood and adolescence and what it feels like to see someone you love cross over that threshold when you’re not ready yet. Beautiful.”
