Editorial Reviews
"The target audience will relate to Sean's challenges, choices and final decision to take action."
— Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's Media
"Choyce incorporates suspense, mystery and the social issue of homelessness into a fast-paced story that is sure to appeal to both male and female readers…This protagonist is both a likeable and believable character, and, in typical reluctant reader fashion, the reader will undoubtedly eagerly continue the story though to the concluding pages. Recommended."
— CM Magazine

— Resource Links
