Paper Boulevard – A Book Blog – Exclusive Content and Interview with Stacey – Dec 5, 2014
“A well-researched Western that keeps the pacing tight and the stakes upped around every turn, the entire time I read this one, I couldn’t help but think how educators and librarians were going to latch onto this one. The story was ripe with educational material, but woven into a story that kept the pages turning.” — Valerie Cole Reads, Oct 17, 2014
