Industry Reviews
"All in all, this sequel is worthy of the original..."
Washington Post Book World - Michael Dirda (10/06/1996)
"There is more external action in this sequel than in the first book, and the violence is somewhat more overt...The humor is more overt as well, however, with Marty's moral wrestling and the tension created by the unpredictability of a dangerous man offset by stories of Grandma, who has turned senior-citizen desperado in the nursing home."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (12/19/1996)
"...readers will find Marty's anxiety, and his love for Shiloh, engrossingly genuine."
