Praise for Wild Wave:
"This is signature Philbrick: nonstop action, short and propulsive sentences, sympathetic protagonists to root for all in under two hundred pages. There should be few so-called "reluctant readers" in a world where Philbrick's books exist." Horn Book Magazine
Praise for Wild River:
An Amazon Best Book of the Month
A Junior Library Guild Selection
"Newbery Honoree Philbrick twines a heartfelt message about teamwork and forgiveness with realistic dangers in this page-turning survival story. A battle for power keeps the tension high, as do plenty of twists and cliffhangers, which create enough uncertainty to keep the pages turning." Publishers Weekly
"As he did with Wildfire, Newbery Honoree Philbrick has crafted another action tale for young readers that's impossible to put down. Readers will need to strap on their helmets and prepare for a wild ride." Kirkus Reviews
