Reviews
Bill Nagelkerke, Magpies Magazine ~ An inventive and linguistically scintillating story and the illustrations, including maps, by Kirsten Slade are a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended.
Read NZ Te Pou Muramura, Nell Mace-David, 13 years old ~ Definitely a book that I will continue to go back to. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good adventure story, with a dash of danger, magic, and revolution. I think that 8-12-year-olds would particularly like this book.
NZ Booklovers ~ The Uprising is a great sequel that lives up to the high bar the first book in the series set. It’s a wonderful read, and read-aloud, that will appeal immensely to middle-grade readers and adults alike.
