| Submission declined on 11 April 2025 by Bonadea (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Two extremely brief reviews, one by Tessa McMillan for Children's Book and Media Review (not a major publication and explicitly intended to market books, but it is independent of the book), and one by Ralph Hardy for Kirkus Reviews do not constitute significant coverage (and I notice that they have been copied with only minimal paraphrasing, so more copyright violations). bonadea contributions talk 10:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
