“Ophelia’s Uncommonly Odd Odyssey” is a fun, lighthearted read — you can’t help but cheer for Ophelia as she begins to take control of her own story. It’s an easy tale to lose yourself in, with a charming, unexpected ending. “

“Ophelia’s Uncommonly Odd Odyssey” is a wonderful read, even for this unlikely reader of a pre-teen book (a 69 year-old engineer). The beauty of this book is the masterful way the author has developed the character of Ophelia in a very thoughtful and believable way as she makes the journey of learning to realize she has to find her own ways to face and ultimately overcome her problems and fears. It is a delightful journey and a thoroughly enjoyable read.”

“To be able to dream and imagine is a gift everyone should take, reading “ Ophelia’s Uncommonly Odd Odyssey” is a testament to that.  Having the pleasure to have worked with young children for over 40 years the author of this novel only deepens my love to all the unique and amazing imaginations of children and their gifts of strength to choose their own very special journeys.  To imagine is to live beyond, even for just a while.”
