To me the book was an allegory of losing one's childhood and Anna Caltabiano does it beautifully. The Seventh Miss Hatfield is as enchanting as Harry Potter and has a rich adventure-laden plot. It will make you laugh and cry, often at the same time - Elder Park Book ReviewsThe tension of the story is well-maintained and gripping and the style fresh - We Love This BookThis book is a very good historical romance. It has some excellent character building, some great relationships and some very neat, elegant writing that really works - Fangs for the FantasyAnna Caltabiano was born in British colonial Hong Kong and educated in Mandarin Chinese schools before moving to Palo Alto, California; the mecca of futurism. She lives down the street from Facebook in the town where its founders reside, along with the pioneers of Google and Apple. Caltabiano's high school classmates are themselves an eclectic mix: the lost offspring of ultra-wealthy Silicon Valley magnates, aspirational internet entrepreneurs and Stanford philosophy professors.
