“E. L. Thomas writes with such a perceptive approach for reluctant readers without seeming to simplify content or language. The story and word choice pull the reader in. Careful control of reading levels, believable characters and dialogue, picture support and stimulating plot…From the moment the novel begins, tensions are high.” – CM Review
