Review: My ten year old daughter (who I converse with as an adult) and I enjoyed reading this book separately. It was clever, suspenseful and written in a way that should be appealing to adults as well as young people. The historical details and the ethnic references ring true and are woven together very naturally, aiding considerably in supporting the science-fiction like plot which is the only part that slightly tarnished our appreciation. We had a similar reaction to the same kind of story we saw in a Hallmark program called "Love Letters." Overall, however, all the essential elements of a good book fit together very tightly. I would highly recommend this book to adults and kids who want to read a book together for thought, discussion and shared enjoyment. I've always been amused by those people who think Mark Twain's books were written for kids. Hopefully, people won't make the same mistake about this book.

Review: Randy Perrin, et al, wrote a wonderful book. This book, unlike many on the market, actually sounds like it was told from the point of view of a teenager. I enjoyed it beginning to end, and read it many more times. Definetaly read this book!
