Advanced Readers say...

"I really like the book and I am more attached to it then or any other book that I read and I’ll love the attention to detail and how the characters played out like Monty or Aven and every character plays its part in the story as if it was all planned out so I just really love it." (Jack, 10)

"I loved this book! There was a lot of suspense, and I was never bored while reading it. The characters in the story are easy to relate to, and the plot line is extraordinary. I like how the author writes the story to make it feel like you are actually there with the main characters, and you don't really know who your enemies are. I loved it so much that I read it again and again." (Kate, 10)

"Dad has been reading it to our 8-year-old (Audrey) and she is really enjoying it!! She pretends to be a Pennymore."

"I thought this book was a very magical and fun book to read. It seems like there is a set up for more books in the future (which I can't wait to read)." (CeCe, 14)

"It's always wonderful to find a book where line after line, you can feel the writer's love and care for the written word, and The Pennymores is definitely that kind of book." (Malu via Goodreads)

"Full of secrets, adventures, and magic, this book gave me all of the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson adventure book vibes while also serving up strong female leads. Complex characters with distinct personalities, detailed and vivid world-building, and magic you wish was real, The Pennymores hooks you right away, and keeps your attention until the very end." (Rebeca G via Goodreads)

The book features protagonists in the middle-grade and young adult ages (8-14), and readers in the YA and MG categories have loved the story. Additionally, teachers, parents, and librarians have enjoyed this fantasy-adventure story.  

The book features 'magic writing', and woven into the book are small nods to writing, storytelling, plots, writing elements, etc.  And so complementing the book are story writing materials and a real-world secret writing society (the Plumes) for kids aged 6-14 (and adults who want to learn the craft of story writing) led by award-winning Georgetown professor Eric Koester.
