Media Reviews
"The author makes even her minor players memorable, so everyone's fate matters. The plot is complex but not crowded, and the action fast, rousing, and furious; good does not always win, so the conclusions are never foregone and the suspense is steady." -- Janice M. Del Negro
-- Bulletin of the Center for Children\'s Books
