"Good buzz" on THE DRAKE EQUATION!

This librarian got an early copy of The Drake Equation—and she liked it! (The ALA is the American Library Association, FYI.)

I'll never post another Vine again.

Come ON, Patricia!

Psst! Want to hear some good cursing?

Early Reviews for THE DRAKE EQUATION

"Much of the book's humor stems from Noah's struggles to overcome his cowardice... Mock 'field notes' [offer] information from Noah's perspectivein a clever, albeit gratuitous way. A ... sci-fi narrative with an enjoyable main character."—Kirkus
"Nine to 12 year olds are the target audience, and I think they will really like this story...The author is a middle school teacher and he really gets the way kids talk to each other - especially boys. The witty dialogue is my favorite part of the book."—Mr. Steve, GoodReads reviewer
“…an intergalactic adventure [with] an interesting premise…”—School Library Journal

"What I enjoyed about this book is the strong lead character, Noah Grow... I loved the unique perspective of the non-stereotypical boy... Witty dialogue also makes this a pleasurable read. This is a great book for the middle school boy..."—Zachary West, GoodReads reviewer
