Kirkus Reviews –
The genuinely evoked setting and circumstances and the plucky boy’s narrow escapes compel attention.
San Francisco Chronicle –
Taut and tender…pages seem to turn themselves.
Booklist –
An exciting story of terror and disguise, of leaving home and outwitting the enemy.
Publishers Weekly –
Atmospheric and suspenseful… maintaining an edge-of-the-seat tension until the very last words.
