Reviews
“The SF aspects of the story and the information about legends from the past are cleverly interwoven with such adolescent issues as friendship and peer pressure, dealing with bullies, and finding one’s identity. This is an enjoyable read that will appeal to both boys and girls.” —KLIATT
“[A] spaceship dropping magical artifacts to Earth becomes secondary to a complex, believable character study…. A multi-level tale, well told.” —Publishers Weekly
“The narrative jumps nimbly between the siblings and also includes their meek but funny friends Ellis and the school bully, who is headed for an inevitable showdown with Ryan. [A] pleasant choice for humorous science fiction fans.” —School Library Journal
