"A very differently thought-out book and sets a new standard in
Canadian children's historical fiction...The wonderful image that
young readers will carry away is one of two girls, dancing together
on the beach."-- (07/01/2010)
"A wonderful and poignant tale that will do an excellent job of
introducing children to some of British Columbia's early history.
Highly Recommended."-- (06/04/2010)
"Powerfully describes the period of cultural collision and
colonization in British Columbian history and should appeal to
readers with an interest in western historical fiction."--VOYA
