Flamingnet Reviews A Deadly Distance and Speechless

Flamingnet, a YA-centric website that is dedicated to promoting reading has recently posted a review of A Deadly Distance by Heather Down, and Speechless by Valerie Sherrard.

A Deadly Distance was reviewed by a 13 year-old (JHap) who seems to have been quite taken with the story which is based on the history between the Beothuks First Nations people and the early European Settlers. Unfortunately JHap wasn’t too happy about the ending but found the story to be quite engaging:

“…I thought it was a very well- written, organized, thoughtout story. Heather Down creates a story that takes you back in time. A time of war between the Indians and the English settlers.” – JHap, Flamingnet

Speechless was reviewed by 13 year-old RMatu who had a few good things to say:

“Speechless is a very interesting and gripping book. It is definitely a page turner that grips the reader’s attention until the very end. The book was also very touching, the plight of the young children fighting in wars made me want to do something for the children as well.” – RMatu, Flamingnet
