Young Reader Comments

It is a great adventure book with lots of action & suspense. Aaron G. (age 12)

I think that the book was good. I would recommend it to others. I think that you should make a sequel. Adam B. (age 12)


Lindsey and her friends are just like us. The exciting adventures one after another made it so I couldn’t put it down. I read it twice. Dannie S. (age 11)


I loved your book! The way it had so much Shakespeare in it. I was in two Shakespearean plays so far, and that’s what made the book extremely fun for me. I loved to guess which quote came from which play. I liked the way you described the characters Zach and his girlfriend the most. (I have a friend who reminded me exactly of her. A total airhead.) The book is great! Beth (age 14)

Adult Comments

I read Lindsey and the Jedgar—twice—and then bought two copies, one for my grandchildren in England and one for my grandchildren in California. The older kids in England breezed through it and loved it. The younger kids? Their mom and dad took turns reading it out loud at bedtime, to the delight of the kids and (an added bonus) to the pleasure of their parents. Rare to find a children's book that parents can enjoy as well! So, Brava!

Having bought Lindsey and the Jedgar for my niece, I decided to read it before giving it to her, and as a scientist, I was particularly delighted to notice that Hayflick Theory is mentioned in the story.  Hayflick's number (a normal cultured human cell has a limited and predetermined number of times it can divide) is one of the main theories on aging and aging is indeed very special on Pensioners' Paradise.  Impressive, the author certainly did her homework and not just about Shakespeare!
Lindsey and the Jedgar is a delightful book, engaging to read and I had more than one late night doing so. A good author writes a book on many levels and has something for everyone. So if you like a good adventure, this is for you.  My compliments to the author!

Ahhh, the courage to write a tale that can be included in the "once upon a time -and they all lived happily ever after" genre. It takes not only what I consider courage of the true sort, but a deep passion for life and belief in the future as well!  And of course, humbly considering myself an eternal child, I appreciate the skill of your pen in taking us on a wonderful visit to other worlds, which do indeed continue to exist.

Pat Manson, passionate  reader (especially of books by people and for people who wisely realize that the kingdom of God is for children! And their guardian angels.)
