Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Action, conspiracy, love, and war are just a few of the fascinating elements in McCardle’s debut…Narrator Amy McFadden flawlessly articulates the action throughout the story, giving life to all the characters. Listeners will eagerly be awaiting a sequel. Slight cursing will make this title appropriate for slightly older tweens, while some ethical themes make it ideal for discussion groups. Give this title to fans of time travel and historical fiction. A first-rate listen.” School Library Journal
