“Zappia’s writing is sharp and accessible, populating a town with a large, unique cast and braiding together different fairy tales to create a world that prioritizes acceptance and love.” - School Library Journal
“In the seven intersecting stories that compose Greymist Fair, author Francesca Zappia nods at fairy-tale conventions before subverting and exceeding them.” - Bookpage, starred review “We’ve seen variants on this premise before, but Zappia uses it to focus on introversion and isolations, panic disorders, suicidal ideation, and a preferable online existence that offers more control.Readers involved in fandoms and those who wish to understand and think about their reach are the audience for this.” -Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Zappia’s lighter approach to these topics doesn’t diminish the strength of this sensitive and compassionate story or the message mirrored in the themes of the webcomic: there are monsters in the world, both real and imaginary, and without support systems, those monsters can cause great harm.” -Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
“A fervent celebration of online fandom, sure to leave readers craving an actual Monstrous Sea comic.” -Booklist, starred review “A must-have for all YA collections, especially where geek culture is celebrated.” -School Library Journal, starred review “A wrenching depiction of depression and anxiety, respectful to fandom, online-only friendships, and the benefits and dangers of internet fame.” -Kirkus Reviews, starred review “A love letter to fandom, friendship, and the stories that shape us, Eliza and Her Monsters is absolutely magical.” -Marieke Nijkamp, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends
