"What an enjoyable and engaging read in every way! Well written, with sympathetic main characters and a great mix of action and emotion." - Donna Marie West, author of The Mud Man

"This book starts out in the action and stays that way to the end. The world is detailed, filled with sounds and scents and curious and sometimes revolting sights, all of which draw the reader in and keep the pages turning. . . Gabrielle has to intuit her way through dangerous and unclear circumstances, dealing with people she doesn't know and may or may not be able to trust. There are deep themes of revolution and poverty and oppression and none of it is romanticized-even the fledgling romance that may or may not be happening. Definitely worth reading." - Sharon Plumb, author of Kraamlokand The Mystery of the Giant Kohrabi

"There are countless twists and turns, and all sorts of complications in this colourful, fast-paced novel-and the dreaded Temple eventually turns out to be far different from anything the strong-willed Gabrielle had expected. It was fascinating to see fictional origins of scientific facts as we know them today, and nicely satisfying to see unexpected roles played by strong women. . . Gabrielle and the Rebels is quite the enjoyable read-with an ending that sets things up well for the coming sequel." -Alison Lohans, award-winning author
