Reviews

Wolfwood is many good things: a high-stakes mystery, a psychological thriller and a real-world story that teeters, precariously, on the edge of fantasy and horror. Its a paean to the healing power of art and a love story: what will you do for love What might you have to do in Wolfwood in order to be happy in the real world * Tim Wynne-Jones, author of The Uninvited *
Baers storytelling is lushly descriptive and suspenseful; teasing details and clues keep the pages turning. Twisty and tangled. * Kirkus Reviews *
Indigo is a bright, compassionate, and stubborn individual who is determined to rise out of her current poverty; readers will appreciate her grit. In addition, she is surrounded by large-as-life and colorful characters who support and challenge her in this entirely original story. * Booklist *
Readers looking for a character-driven story fraught with emotional suspense should pick this one up. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
