"As a librarian, I read a lot of books. Your book is really fun to read and the drawings are SO amazing!" ~ Terri K.

"My sister and I are one and a half years apart. Your book reminded me of our childhood. It was entertaining. I donated it to a library for young readers." ~ N.K.

"My grandmother gave me your book. I couldn't put it down, so took it to school so I could read more there." ~ Sophie, grade school student

"Your book reads well. I like the relationship between Jacinta and Allannah. I think siblings do act that way and feel that way about each other in real life sometimes. So, it's definitely relatable. I was surprised with some of the twists and turns. I bought two more of this book for friends." ~ S.G., grade school teacher
