Smashwords book reviews by Joel Arnold

Today, I Told a Lie (a short story) on Aug. 18, 2010

I really enjoyed this heartbreaking story, told from the point of view of a third-grader who prefers playing by himself. I feel the author nailed the voice of this child - very believable, and I remember having some of those feelings when I was a youngster. Recommended!
The Butterfly on July 08, 2011

A beautiful and poignant short story. Made me want to seek out more of Levick's work.
