Praise
"Combining action, silliness and enough step-by-step explanations to help readers figure out the mystery, this enjoyable historical tale should appeal to the author's many younger fans and send them off to read--or reread--MIDNIGHT MAGIC."
09/07/2009
"The plot never takes a break, rushing from encounter to encounter in true audience-pleasing style; the intrigue unfolds naturally without bogging down the main event."
08/01/2009
"Although it's recommended for middle-grade readers, this charming mystery has a universal appeal. Set in a deliciously eerie 15th-century Italy, it's a fable about the magic of knowledge and invention....The novel's language is simple and elegant, and the characters quote philosophers and poets. This is smart, sweet fun."
