* "Strong's prose pours from her pen like iced sweet tea on an
August afternoon—it's refreshing, steeped in tradition, and mixed
with love. A stirring Southern middle-grade book that burns
brighter than fireworks on the Fourth."
*Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW*
* “Strong’s prose presents a world so real readers will feel the
warm Georgia breeze, or the haints’ chilling breath down your
neck….Readers will need a sweet tea to calm their nerves after this
emotional adventure. First purchase for all collections.”
*School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW*
* "Strong packs a lot of heart into this vivid debut about love,
family, forgiveness, and the kinds of horrors few can scarcely
conceive....Free-flowing dialogue, a rich story line, and warm
characters nicely ground the more supernatural elements. This is a
must for readers who appreciate a heartfelt mystery."
*Booklist, STARRED REVIEW*
"Readers of Turnage’s Three Times Lucky will appreciate this
well-wrought, atmospheric mystery."
