"""Hints at a complicated institution of magic and questions about the twins' parents point toward adventures to come in this fantasy-mystery series with impressive depth."" —Booklist, starred review “Humor and character development abound along with thoughtful musings as the novel skillfully entwines its subplots into a tale that ties up every loose end by the time the United States has had its first successful moon landing…Riveting.” – Kirkus (starred review) “The art is charming. . . . The sequences featuring witches are especially striking. . . . Set against the backdrop of the late 1960s burgeoning gay rights movement, the tale also explores the complications of grappling with an LGBTQ+ identity in more close-minded times.” —School Library Journal “Reading like an aged-up supernatural reimagining of classic Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, this magical mystery graphic novel—lushly rendered in full color and set in the summer of '69—makes full use of its vintage vibe to offer something new.” —The Bulletin"
