Partly a mad retelling of The Nutcracker by way of Pinocchio, partly an homage to the rich folklore of Central Europe, it transcends its sources to become something altogether new."-- "Ben Tripp, author of The Accidental Highwayman""An absorbing tale of adventure, invention, family loyalty, and sly humor...Bursting with unforgettable characters."-- "School Library Journal (starred review)""An inventive fantasy."-- "Booklist""Men and mice engage in mortal conflict in this multilayered retelling...A fast-paced adventure."-- "Kirkus Reviews" Review Quote "The Toymakers Apprentice is a big, swift-moving tale, bursting with invention.
