獲2006年紐伯瑞兒童文學銀牌獎 書評 本書可說是傳統王妃故事的創作新嘗試。作者鋪陳情節的手法教人驚喜，非常能引起讀者強烈的共鳴。 ──2006紐伯瑞評審委員會 閱讀這部作品猶如攀越高山，一路上充滿了驚險的尖峰與懸崖，故事情節緊密，環環相扣。故事裡每個女孩的結局在在撫慰人心，讀者甚至不時會讀到幽默的精采情節，但這部作品卻非了無新趣、結局可預期的刻板童話；相反的，海爾織羅出一個錯綜複雜、層次豐富的故事，深入描寫並探討家庭、同儕關係、教育，以及我們稱之為家的地方。 ──學校圖書館期刊 在這個以盼求王子青睞為主題的歷史幻想故事裡，海爾巧妙的注入女性獨有的纖細善感特質。故事高潮迭起，情節精采豐富。 ──書單雜誌
