“The illustrations and writing are spot on. Your kids will love it!” – Elliott Hedman, 5-stars
“This is exactly the kind of story I couldn’t get enough of as a kid. Even reading as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The well written adventure careened from one dangerous dilemma to the next, with each solved by one of the quads’ individual talents, or by teamwork. Definitely a must read for anyone who would like a nail biting adventure filled with mystery, bad guys, traps, treasure, and four clever heroines.” – Kaillayna, 5-stars
“From the opening chapter, the four Quads are given their own distinct personalities, with the same being true of the other characters introduced throughout the book. Whilst the initial introductions put broad brush strokes on the characterisations, additional details appear naturally in the narrative, giving the characters real depth. Even the villains are not painted as simply bad for the sake of it, proving to be well-rounded individuals by the end.” – Stephen Brown, 5-stars
