Arvustused

Surducans story is a whimsical and fresh take on the old fairy-tale tropes about working hard and hardly workingand the balance one needs to strike between the two. The art style is both nostalgic and new at the same time. Color changes between Ninas world and the Other World is like stepping through the looking glass with Alice. There is also a nice mirror of Nina in the Other World that helps readers understand that the opposite of working all the time is not selfishly doing nothing A short, sweet look at burnout for middle grade readers, with delightful art and a relatable lead character for all to love. * School Library Journal * Each page is delightful Ileana Surducans Eisner-nominated The Lost Sunday is a delightful re-telling of a traditional fairy tale, adding modern-day themes of burnout and the necessity of free time.
