"A retelling of the classic tale ”East of the Sun and West of the Moon,“ this is a resource to use in the study and discussion of superstition. Pattou’s writing places readers between myth and fantasy in this fairy tale that involves magic, superstition, and suspense. Many universal themes are dealt with in this story. Family dynamics and how they are influenced by individual and family values are most evident. Rose is a female explorer, which makes this story interesting because most explorers are male."--Ministry of Education website.
