"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 "The swiftly paced plot will please readers used to Hunger Gamesstyle action." - Booklist "An engaging, fast-paced adventure through both the streets of New Orleans and the astrological map of the sky." - BCCB Praise for Selling Hope :* "The well-synthesized period flavor extends right down to the one-liners that punctuate Hope's earnest, easygoing, and perfectly pitched narration ('This morning's gravy was so thick, when I stirred it, the room spun around!'). In the end, though, it's Hope's relationship with her father-a sort of proto hippy-dippy naturalist who often seems more of a child than Hope-that steals the spotlight with a gentle and well-earned tug of the heartstrings." - Booklist , starred review"It's a good show with heroes, villains, and heart." - School Library Journal "Readers find themselves drawn in by the countdown to possible doom and intrigued by Tubb's subtle examination of the fine line between offering hope and dealing deceit.
Kids bemused by the notion of mass panic might want to ask their parents what they did to prepare for the turn of the millennium." - BCCB.
