  • “It's hard to describe the world of The Green Ember book series without doing it a disservice. It is epic in scope and theme, but not in length. The stories focus on complex relationships and internal conflict, but not at the expense of intense action. The stakes for the characters are intensely, uniquely personal, but in a way that affects the fates of entire nations. ”

  • “This new book in the Green Ember series is chock full of excitement. It makes a great read aloud or a quick read for intermediate readers. The same great heroes and some new bad guys make it as thrilling as the rest of the books in this series. If you want heroes for your kids to look up to in a day where evil is called good and good evil, this is your author and this is your book!”

  • “I love these brave rabbits! SD Smith is an awesome storyteller. I've read all his books so far and look forward to more. They are not just for middle grade. Some of us middle agers truly enjoy the adventure. It's nice to have a great story that the whole family can enjoy without profanity and other inappropriate behavior.”
