A whirligig of a fantasy
Telegraph

As entertaining as it is enchanting
Armadillo Magazine

With its storytelling aplomb, humor, imagination, and many twists and turns, this novel places Moriarty … firmly in Diana Wynne Jones territory. Readers will want to begin rereading this spellbinder just as soon as they finish it, to find all the clues and connections and coincidences Moriarty drops and weaves and reconciles throughout.
The Horn Book (starred review)

An absolute sparkling delight of a story! Whisperers, water sprites, spellbinders and faery-cross stitch; this book is brimming with bright new magic … just perfect.

Have I led you wrong about middle grade fantasy in the past? The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone brings all the strengths you’ve praised in Jaci Moriarty’s fiction – her brilliant plotting, her wit, her delicious use of magic, and most of all, her uncanny ability to turn a group of characters into a group of friends – I think this time she brings those strengths to the group that will most appreciate them: middle grade readers.
Arthur Levine, editor of BRONTE METTLESTONE and the HARRY POTTER series

Jaclyn Moriarty charms, thrills and delights in this delightfully unpredictable, unique and modern novel, while also brilliantly evoking echoes of classic children's authors like Diana Wynne Jones and Joan Aiken.
Garth Nix, bestselling author

A whimsical and imaginative fantasy quest that will enthral until the end. A spellbinding gift.
South Wales Evening Post

Jaclyn Moriarty has weaved the familiar and the fantasy together very well for children to create this compelling story.
