"This review has barely skimmed the staggering range of ethical considerations advanced with extraordinary care and detail by Guanio-Uluru in this valuable book ... . She has shown that the relationship between ethics and form exhibits astonishing interpretive complexity, in a splendid book that will amply repay many rereadings." (Claudia Mills, Children Literature Association Quarterly, Vol. 41 (3), Fall, 2016)
