One of the great things about having an upcoming book is seeing early reviews trickle in. The place that that tends to happen is the book-obsessed site Goodreads.
- Teacher Jessica of Westerville, OH says "Young Captain Nemo has a fabulous premise ... My students, boys and girls, will want to pass this one around. Fast-paced, interesting, creative, ... This is going to be a big hit at my school. 4 Stars."
- Ms Yingling, whose middle grade observations I've admired for years, said ""I was completely in awe of the scenes in the water, both sailing and diving. Wow... The details about the ecology of the ocean are great as well, and might lead to further research. Brilliant all the way around. 5 Stars."
- Teacher Kate said, "Young Captain Nemo is a fantastic nautical adventure for middle grade readers. This book is fast-paced, fun, and an epic adventure. The characters are unique and easy to connect to. ... The story line is captivating from page one. I truly enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait to add it to my classroom library."
- Teacher Erika said, "This book was full of page-turning adventure, Easter eggs, and conservation lessons. I know some children who will eat up the story and be hungry for more. Good thing, too, as it seems as if the author is planning for sequels. The book would pair well with non-fiction texts about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and marine biology."
