Praise for Blood Red Snow White: "Sedgwick uses vivid, fairy tale
imagery to describe historical events." --Publishers Weekly
"Drenched in atmosphere, [Blood Red Snow White] gives vivid
depictions of snowy Russia . . ., eerie portrayals of Rasputin and
the czar's family, and the rise of Trotsky and Lenin. . . .
trademark Sedgwick envelope-pushing." --Kirkus Reviews
"This is Marcus' best yet. It's hard to know where history ends and
imagination begins as he weaves three stories into one and vividly
brings to life an extraordinary time in Russia's history." --Wendy
Cooling, founder of Bookstart "Spellbinding! Master storyteller,
Marcus Sedgwick, weaves his enchanting story from the glittering
threads of history, folklore and imagination. Where does one start
and the other begin? Who knows? I was totally absorbed from first
page to last. Quite simply one of the most accomplished novels I
have read in recent years." --Nikki Gamble - Write Away! Praise for
Marcus Sedgwick:
"Sedgwick is one of the most sophisticated, thought-provoking
voices in YA novels." --Booklist on The Ghosts of Heaven
