"The plot twists and
turns, the dialogue is fast and easy, and the adult characters (including the
grumpy building engineer and Sarah’s distant dad) are as much fun as the
kids and their beloved
animals."

"The universal appeal
of Sarah and her friend’s kindhearted compassion, combined with her dogged
determination to resolve dilemmas, will keep readers anticipating further
adventures of the ever-resourceful
Sarah."

"The text is on target
for youngsters just beginning to read chapter books and has the graphic support
of two illustrations per
chapter."
