"Geoffrey Wells touts his latest mystery/thriller as a book for middle grade readers, but there’s plenty here to entertain readers well past school age. Mindy and Pablo are smart and capable, and they need to be. The pair work together to help each ot"

My middle grade thriller is a story of hope. It’s not about an aimless, vague hope, it’s about sacred hope—not sacred in the religious sense, but hope that fronts a single-minded fever of purpose. It’s about two twelve-year-olds who see through paren ...more | |
"This is only the second time I’ve had to give a 1-star rating but c’monnnnnn. I love TF and loved The Wives - but what happened ??

“An activist’s life is not easy, Sam. If you’re going to live like your mother, you’ll have to learn how to live with yourself; you have to look past all the cruel things people did to your face, the names they called you at school, the bullies, your challenge with English. Remember, every bad dream is a good adventure—in someone else’s eyes. If you see it that way, all those things will give you power because they make you strong—they make you different. And different is good. Different puts you on your own path with no one else. People listen when you’ve become strong from being different.”

“All our lives are the same, braided together on the same surface, figuratively speaking. Not to make too fine a point of it and get nutty, but our lives are like a Möbius strip, an endless loop with no back or front, a strip with a twist in it joined end-to-end so that no matter where we are on it, only half is visible. We know instinctively that other lives we cannot see are hidden on the same surface at the same time—not underneath or on the other side.”
