Review by: Janet Schmidt on Sep. 08, 2012 :
Strong characters, family relationships, the innocence of childhood, and the disillusion of adulthood - plus an alien race that confuses the adults, but makes sense to the child. This is a really great story. Mary Lowd's stories are always well-written, with interesting characters - and the perspective she brings to her story-telling will always give you something worth keeping.

Review by: Molly Sullivan on Jan. 06, 2012 :
I appreciated the character development and found the family dynamics in this story insightful. I loved the anthropologic perspective the main character brought to this story. Additionally, the creatures in this story are just fascinating.
