“Beyond the Map’s Boundary is somehow both charming and tense, and the world the characters inhabit is deep and complicated, perfect for realistic fantasy.  The action is riveting, and the plot will absolutely draw the reader in.  The level of detail demands that this story be re-read and appreciated for its nuances.”

Reviews from Children of All Ages

“I loved the book.  Once I started to read it I was in my own little world and wanted to find out what happened next!  I told my teacher at school how much I had read and she was amazed.  I read 250 minutes in one day and just wanted to keep reading it, but I had to do my chores.  I loved how Kash and Trevor kept freaking each other out.  It is so funny!”

“Thank you for permitting me to review Beyond the Map’s Boundary and to share it with my family and colleagues.  My three 10-year-old grandsons had a great time listening to the CD on a recent extended trip. We stopped it every so often and discussed what was happening and what might happen next. The most enthusiastic responses came from girls in the 12-60-ish range.  They especially identified with Mattie and liked the concept of “boosting” and “paralleling”.  All of us wished we could do it!  We are looking forward to Mattie and Kash’s next exciting adventures!

Go Nibi Soto!!!

“I finished your book Friday.  WOW… I had no idea you were so creative and masterful with the pen.  I knew you were athletic.  I knew you were cerebral.  I even knew you were musical but I had no idea that you had such a wonderful imagination.  I  LOVE… LOVE… LOVED your book.  Can’t wait for the sequel.  It was like going to a great amusement park… one great surprise after another, and really a lot of fun.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!”

“The story was great, it moved quickly yet was very detailed. Once you start the story you don’t  want to quit. This was my first audio book. The music was outstanding . I may never read another book. Hopefully the sequel will be coming pretty soon!!!”

“I listened to your audio book.  I listen to audio books often on my way to work.  I learned to stay away from authors who read their books, because they usually are not very good to listen to.  Oh my gosh… was I surprised at what a wonderful job you did.  It was BY FAR THE BEST author read book I have ever listened to.”
