"In The Highest Heaven [Cruz] created a fable that is as appetizing for adults as it is for young people
It is a cautionary tale of greed, passion and cruelty and, at the same time, a magical enchantment that sends the senses soaring along with the monarch butterflies that are the focus of the story
Even at its most dazzling, the magic in The Highest Heaven has meaning
Sometimes that meaning is subtle, but the assumption is: If the younger members of the audience don't get it, the older ones will explain it" ~ The Arizona Republic
