"Hints at a complicated institution of magic and questions about
the twins' parents point toward adventures to come in this
fantasy-mystery series with impressive
depth." —Booklist, starred review
“Humor and character development abound along with thoughtful
musings as the novel skillfully entwines its subplots into a tale
that ties up every loose end by the time the United States has had
its first successful moon landing…Riveting.” – Kirkus (starred
review)
“The art is charming. . . . The sequences featuring witches are
especially striking. . . . Set against the backdrop of the late
1960s burgeoning gay rights movement, the tale also explores the
complications of grappling with an LGBTQ+ identity in more
close-minded times.” —School Library Journal
“Reading like an aged-up supernatural reimagining of classic Hardy
Boys and Nancy Drew, this magical mystery graphic novel—lushly
rendered in full color and set in the summer of '69—makes full use
of its vintage vibe to offer something new.” —The Bulletin
