"Your book reads well. I like the relationship between Jacinta and Allannah. I think siblings do act that way and feel that way about each other in real life sometimes. So, it's definitely relatable. I was surprised with some of the twists and turns. I bought two more of this book for friends." ~ S.G., grade school teacher
