“Don’s fast-paced, well-crafted tale of betrayal, magic and adventure is also a reflection on choice and destiny. A strong sense of place, good characterisation and a refreshingly competent heroine make this a thoroughly enjoyable read.”– Juliette Saumande, Bookfest: Recommended Reading Guide 2010 by Children’s Books Ireland‘Descriptive and finely attuned to its Scottish Highland setting this atmospheric fantasy tale would work well as a class or group reader.’– Write Away‘There are plenty of children out there who will be excited and inspired by this book.’– Lothian Life‘The most satisfying accomplishment of this book is the characterisation of Pearl… Pearl makes this a praiseworthy book.’– Armadillo‘A lovely, old fashioned, mystical tale set in the Scottish Highlands in the 1920s and woven by a true storyteller.’– Yvonne Coppard, Carousel, Spring 2011‘I really enjoyed this book, the adventure and the situations Pearl had to work her way through.’– Carly MacDonald (Gracemount High), Teen Titles, December 2010‘Readers will love it.’– The Yellow Brick Road‘This is the one for me. From magic to missing triplets to intrigue, you have it all.’– Crazed Mind
