Praise for Spyglass Secrets


“I just finished reading Spyglass Secrets and am completely in love with the story. The lyrical format was so enjoyable, and the vivid imagery pulled me right in. Shawn’s house described as just ‘ribs’ after the fire… so powerful. Lori’s Grandpa carving an ox, the references to Roxbury and Scot’s Bay… the details, ohhh the details! And that moment — ‘Throw the coins back! The hands! The hands! They’ll tip us over!’ I loved it. I even had to look up wild raisin — I didn’t know such a plant existed. Just a wonderful piece of literature, Jane!”

-Lori Whitman-Price, Teacher


"I'd like to buy another copy of Spyglass Secrets for my great grandson. He's not a great reader, but I think the story and the short lines of prose-poetry will appeal to him."

-Bob Bent, Author
