Daisy's wry comments on human foibles and eccentricities...combine to paint a moving picture of suffering and, ultimately, redemption. Daisy is distinctive and memorable, and this depiction of PTSD is useful, making this a fine, compelling tale. --Kirkus Reviews Daisy's voice is strong, painting a world with canine synesthesia: happy days are yellow, untruths taste like turkey bacon. With joint appeal to children of soldiers and dog-lovers, this is likely to find a broad audience. --Booklist Online Beautifully written, this big-hearted book is filled with courage, guts, loyalty, and hope, just like Daisy herself. Truly a celebration of the healing power of love! --Bobbie Pyron, author of A Dog's Way Home The swiftly paced plot will please readers used to Hunger Games-style action. Kids into astrology and horoscopes will hang on every chapter, especially when they find out that the concept of Ophiuchus exists and is used in some beliefs. --Booklist Online Avid canine lovers will surely appreciate the intimate look at Daisy's yearning for purpose. The focus on...service dogs should enlighten readers about the ways our four-legged companions function as more than just pets. A poignant animal tale, and a strong addition to most collections. --School Library Journal The emotional journey of veterans experiencing PTSD is a difficult subject, and this book explores it with empathy and candor. The commitment of these characters--human and canine--to confront their past and find freedom in the future offers an inspiring example of personal resilience. --Chapter 16 Praise for The 13th Sign: An original, action-packed plot, a resilient heroine, a twist ending and 12 sly, angry Keepers will hold readers on edge. The ultimate astrological fantasy. --Kirkus Reviews Tubb uses rich historical material well in this clever story whose time line is a 17-day countdown to the comet catastrophe. --School Library Journal Praise for Selling Hope: Tubb deftly ingrains a thoughtful ethical question into the story...but never overdoes it in this bouncy tale populated by a terrific cast of characters. The well-synthesized period flavor extends right down to the one-liners that punctuate Hope's earnest, easygoing, and perfectly pitched narration. --Booklist (starred review)
