"This dare-to-be-different picture book blends beautifully with the kids-to-the-rescue story... leaves readers with much to think about." -- Shelf Awareness, starred review

"A girl plants a fantastical idea... This charming, low-key tale celebrates those who unabashedly find unconventional things exciting... No poison here; just a garden of delights about someone who improves things in a unique fashion." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The sign at the entrance to Garden Glen boasts 'a picture-perfect place, ' a phrase that hints at the neighborhood's stifling conformity. But young Millie Fleur -- who's vaguely reminiscent of Wednesday Addams in Mandin's measured, sepia-toned digital illustrations -- changes all that when she and her mother move into a lone, decrepit gothic house on the edge of town." -- Publishers Weekly

"This charming picture book...pays homage to classic and beloved creeps like those featured in Frankenstein and The Addams Family while simultaneously creating its own... Young readers will leave inspired by Millie's refusal to hide what she loves." -- Bookpage
