Praise for The Badger Knight:

* “The integration of historical facts into the text is seamless; readers will leave knowing a sturdy amount about England and Scotland in 1346 but won't even notice how much they are learning, as it is all so cleanly embedded into Adrian's gripping, often harrowing, adventures.” –BCCB, starred review

“Her skillful rendering of medieval life–its smells and limitations and ignorance–is reminiscent of the best from Kathryn Cushman or Avi's Crispin novels.” –Booklist

“The medieval-era mud and dung, as well as a scene of graphic battle violence, should captivate readers seeking total immersion in a distant, yet vibrantly imagined era.” –Publishers Weekly
Praise for Mockingbird:

Winner of the National Book Award

“Allusions to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, the portrayal of a whole community's healing process, and the sharp insights into Caitlyn's behavior enhance this fine addition to the recent group of books with narrators with autism and Asbergers.” –Booklist

“A valuable book.” –School Library Journal

“A strong and complex character study.” –The Horn Book
Praise for Seeing Red:

* “A powerful indictment of injustice of all forms and an equally powerful and dramatic demonstration that young people, by taking individual action, can actually change history. This is an important book that deserves the widest possible readership.” –Booklist, starred review

 “This thought-provoking book will be a valuable addition for any library.” –Library Media Connection
