"WHERE THE OTHER WILD THINGS ARE...An older sister to Sendak's work, maybe taking place on the next island over from Max's wild rumpus."—The New York Times
"A wildly imaginative tale, spangled by magic realism and Argentine conflation of reality and fantasy." —Variety
A celebration of the magical bonds that unite children!
When her two big sisters embark on an adventure to explore a mysterious island, the youngest one doesn’t want to be left behind—even if she needs her sisters' help to read the sign that says “Only Reality Can Kill a Dragon”. Along the way, the sisters discover gorilla houses, popcorn falling from the sky like snow, and yes, a dragon that only reality can kill. What shines through from this funny story’s gut-wrenchingly scary beginning (“There was a terrible plane crash!”) to its sweet and satisfying ending is LINIERS’s admiration for the imaginative powers of childhood.
