Review Quotes

"Short sentences, generous line spacing, and amped-up pacing combine to ease reluctant teen readers into this tongue-in-cheek caper...A clever variation on the theme of intergenerational connections."-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"Full of suspense and has a fast-moving plot, all packaged in its relatively short page length. The book is short, but not simplistic, and the content and themes are age-appropriate for teens. Highly Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
