Praise and Reviews

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this book a full 10. I love it. I liked the part about when the papers were flying everywhere. - Kayla James, 5th grade

My class and I loved the book. It grew more suspenseful every day. I loved the lesson it told, too. You are a very gifted writer. The way you wrote the book allowed it to be very easy for students to visualize the story in their minds. Excellent descriptions. You're at the top of our best seller list, for sure. -Judy Smith, 3rd grade teacher

I really enjoyed it. I liked all the adventure of it and the only thing I didn’t like about it is that it ended. - Breslin Crose, 5th grade

A fascinating read all the way through, with strong characters you get to know and like...or not. I loved the surprise ending and how the mystery and excitement that went through the whole book came to a satisfying conclusion. - Dorothy Ray

This book kept my students' attention all the way through. - Alyce McConaghy, 4th grade teacher
