"The beautiful illustrations by Skylar White show Nyla’s vulnerability and pain, while Jasbinder Bilan’s simple yet powerful words show Puloma’s bravery in standing up for what’s right. In shining a light on cruel traditions that might still exist in some areas of the world, this is a story to provoke thought, and maybe action." - BookTrust, Book of the Day

"Bilan packs so much into this short novel … Sensory details evoke the Indian countryside wonderfully, Puloma is a gutsy protagonist, and there is a powerful message about the treatment of captive animals." – JUNO

"A captivating, hopeful story of courage, friendship and trust with a powerful message raising awareness about animals held in captivity for entertainment." - Book Craic, blog

"A powerful story of standing up for what you believe in. Bravery, kindness and compassion flow from every page as the strong female lead, Puloma, discovers her gifts and the potential for a positive future. This story is perfect for fans of Nizrana Farook’s animal stories and Luna by Holly Webb." - Scope for Imagination, blog
