Reviews

"Along Comes a Wolfe's strengths lie in its well-drawn protagonists, but it also shines in illuminating the feeling of a teenager's world of innocence and security being transformed into an adult world of secrets and danger."
— SaskBooks

"The pages turned and burned until the end. Then we wanted more."
— Terry Fallis, award-winning author of Best Laid Plans; Suzannah Showler, author of Thing; Caroline Vu, author of Palawan Story

"That tight, terse combination of fear and fun works, as does the collaboration of the writers who produced it."
— Prairie Books NOW Issue 75, Fall/Winter 2019/20
