"At a time when we hear so much about bullying in schools,Sticks and Stoneswill encourage youngsters to find positive ways to fight back. Recommended." (Canadian Book Review Annual2003-01-01)"Presents a quick glimpse of teen characters in contemporary settings...certainly deals with a timely and common problem, and will appeal to the reluctant reader." (KLIATT2002-07-01)“This novel is an easy to read book with strong dialogue...Students will be interested in the character of Jujube and...the situation will be a familiar one.” (Resource Links2003-01-01)"The high interest plot works - the action starts right away and the story is filled with gossip, tears, and righteous retribution." (VOYA2002-10-01)“Demonstrates that hi-lo books do not automatically have to be of lesser literary quality. By launching the new hi-lo series with titles of already proven quality and interest from well-established YA authors, Orca Soundings are off to a fine start. Highly Recommended.” (CM Magazine2002-09-06)
