Media Reviews
PRAISE FOR ESCAPE AT 10,000 FEET: “Elementary and middle school fans of the true crime genre will enjoy this puzzler.” — School Library Journal PRAISE FOR ESCAPE AT 10,000 FEET: "This stranger-than-fiction saga thrives thanks to spectacular design choices: 'Dick Tracy'—esque hard-boiled cartooning; rugged, mechanical typefaces; and a bevy of files, folders, and miscellaneous paperwork come together to form a fabulous criminal collage. A compulsively readable series debut." — Kirkus Reviews PRAISE FOR ESCAPE AT 10,000 FEET: “Sporting a comic book’s sensibility with a Common Core State Standard’s love of primary documents and a narrative voice you’d follow to the ends of the earth, THIS is what we need to see more of, people!” — Fuse #8 Blog/School Library Journal
