Customer Reviews

Great Read!!!

This is so much fun! Your imagination is incredible. I read through it and was almost dreading the end because I feared it would be the predictable boy (frog) falls in love with girl (faerie) scenario. I was thrilled and delighted at the unexpected twist you put on things! Thank you for such a fun and enjoyable read!

A surprising children's story (what an ending!)

This children's story was delightful! It was full of neat descriptions about Hickem Tod's unusual world. The artwork was stunning -- it really brought the characters to life. The author read it at our local elementary school and the children giggled at the ending. It's a treasure!

A great book with a surprise twist.

Mr. Wheeler has clearly shown his flair for colorful characters and fantastic imagery. Both have been masterfully joined with a good moral and a surprise ending that delights kids and adults alike. Let's hope that this promising new author will not remain in _silence_!
