Editorial Reviews
Robertson…gives readers a fast-paced and imaginative thriller/adventure which will keep them on the edge of their seats.
Highly Recommended
— CM Association
Robertson’s final instalment in this excellent trilogy does not disappoint. He manages to take on important and timely themes while always keeping the reader engaged, engrossed and entertained. Fans will root for this believable cast of characters as they finally get to the truth of the mysterious goings-on at Wounded Sky. I can’t wait to see more from this fine author!
— Susin Nielson, Governor General's Award-winning author
Once again, award-winning author David A. Robertson, a member of Norway House Cree Nation, achieves a fantastic balance between the development of the characters and the pacing of the story to create a highly engaging read.
— BCTF Magazine
a superb conclusion to a masterful trilogy.
— The Globe and Mail
Robertson’s trademark wit, grasp of superhero conventions, and skill in telling own-voices stories set in First Nations communities are all on display in the Reckoner books, which leave YA readers shaken and exhilarated.
