"'A thrill a minute' is a good way of summing up these exciting stories. Not only do readers get to enjoy adventure-packed stories of real heroes their own age, they are able to learn great lessons on survival techniques that will enable them to be more efficient in any emergency." (Mary McKinney, Christian Library Journal)
"Great reading for young readers and adults as well." (Librarian's World)
"Deborah Morris spolights the very best in children." (Garland News)
"Kids are now action heroes in the nonfiction book series Real Kids Real Adventures." (South Florida Magazine)
"Young teens who love action and adventure will love these true stories. Each story has the flair of a novel and the excitement of tonight's network news." (Living with Teenagers)
"Morris is a skillful story weaver. In spite of the fact that you know something traumatic is about to happen (or the story wouldn't be in the book), you can't always guess what it will be. Morris' foreshadowing technique is wonderfully subtle." (Minnesota Christian Chronicle)
"Morris retraces the steps of her characters... Each story is the true tale of a child's harrowing experience and how they used their spunk, ingenuity and courage to overcome the odds." (Dallas Child/Fort Worth Child Magazine)
