Editorial Reviews

  • "A Thrilling and Lively Story"

    -Lexi Fox for Readers Favorite

  • "This story merges fantasy with a fundamental coming-of-age theme, invoking curiosity and novelty for readers. Despite familiar elements in much of the plot, there are some satisfying twists as the book wraps up."

    -The Book Life Prize

  • "A really cool concept: What if there was a secret history to the University of Mississippi? Think National Treasure+Indiana Jones+Ole Miss."
