2020 Books of the Year
“… The protagonist and her wolverine are quite likable in their dogged resolution to achieve greatness, and there are fun jokes sprinkled throughout in comic-style speech bubbles, but the real gem here is the artwork that looks like it’s straight out of a Pixar animated film. All in all, this girl-power story is a victorious celebration of uniqueness, ingenuity, and little people following their big dreams.” —Becca Worthington
— Booklist
“A small-town “farmersdotter” hits the big time when she joins a warrior woman’s brigade. …
You’d have to be beserk(er) not to appreciate this mighty gal.”
— Kirkus
“This one’s all about Helga’s determination and self-knowledge; told by her mother to “remember who you are,” Helga shouts, battle-ready in a field of fluffy sheep, “I AM A WARRIORRR!””
—Publisher’s Weekly
