PRAISE FOR Past the Size of Dreaming
“Great urban fantasy ... A beautiful story. Nina Kiriki Hoffman is a wonderful storyteller who makes
the written word sing. The characters drive the story as the motley crew wins the hearts of readers who
will anxiously await the next installment in this fabulous series.”
—Harriet Klausner, Midwest Book Review

PRAISE FOR A Red Heart of Memories

Chosen as one of the best fantasy novels of 1999 by Locus
Chosen as one of the Year 2000 Best Books for Teen Readers by the New York Public Library

“Hoffman is an expert at creating battered yet resilient characters who confront the world with odd
powers and offbeat perspectives. Her empathy for the underdog is deeply felt, without ever stooping to
sticky sentimentality, and her latest book displays her narrative strengths to full advantage.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Beautifully written ... at once whimsical and morally serious, featuring well-developed characters, a
contemporary setting, some highly original forms of magic, and a center darker than is immediately
apparent. The book succeeds brilliantly. Nina Kiriki Hoffman is one of the most original and important
writers of fantasy working in America today.”
—The New York Review of Science Fiction

“Fans of Charles de Lint’s modern-world fantasies should appreciate Hoffman’s graceful storytelling
and down-to-earth magic.”
—Library Journal

“Nina Kiriki Hoffman continues to explore a fantasy realm not quite like anyone else’s .... These
characters have to work their way through plenty of life’s hard knocks ... they return to a youthful
emotional directness which can look straight into the heart of things—something like Zenna Henderson’s
People, but with Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s own special sense of the lives within.”
—Locus

“Hoffman handles the interconnected solutions to the trio’s problems with skill, as each solution leads
subtly to greater understanding and compassion ... in a quiet talc of three injured souls helping each other
toward happiness.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Hoffman addresses serious concerns ... but the journey is leavened by Matt’s irrepressible
character—a wonderful mix of pure common sense and whimsy. Highly recommended.”
—Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
 “Exquisite ... her imagination is limitless.”
—KICC, National Public Radio
