*****

“DaCosta crafts her spare text carefully and with humor…. The depth of feeling DaCosta and Young give to the boy’s fantasy makes this a standout.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Debut picture-book author DaCosta pens the quietly suspenseful quest of a ninja on a late-night mission…to the kitchen!
Succinct language full of vivid verbs describing the action sets the mood for Young’s lushly textured illustrations…” –Kirkus Reviews
