PRAISE FOR "STONES FOR MY FATHER"
"The more prominent review media seem to have completely missed this gem from a Canadian-Brit. In quickly evocative prose, Kent creates an immediate and scintillating [story]. Kent has a keen craft and understands her audience, and the U.S. children's literature world would do well to start paying her more attention."
--BayViews
..". This book is particularly unique ... its human rather than historical elements are what make this thread of the story the most compelling element in Stones for my Father. As is so often the case with historical fiction, the relationships, rather than the history, are what bring the tale to life; Kent performs this trick with impressive dexterity."
--Recommended, CM Magazine
..". The descriptions of time and place in the novel are mostly strong and the language vivid ... [an] entertaining story. Corlie is an excellent role model, and many young readers will be able to relate to her trials."
