Recensione:

“The main characters are well rendered and likable, and, in her portrayal of the earth-centered, nurturing Brightman family, Stanley succeeds in delivering the message that hope trumps fear.” (School Library Journal)

“This page-turner skillfully captures the irrational fear of a public under siege while giving kids a modern-day, almost-just-like-them female hero who champions hope. Inspiring.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“This will certainly raise poignant questions about a world that is only very slightly unfamiliar and about the way readers would respond in similar circumstances.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“This thought-provoking novel explores both the frightening power of mob mentality and fear tactics, along with hopeful possibilities offered when individuals take courageous stands for justice.” (Publishers Weekly)

Praise for Bella at Midnight: “Once begun, it will be hard to put down.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
