Promotional Details

A goofy, joyfully anachronistic, wildly inventive, gut-shakingly funny novel.

- Winnipeg Free Press

A rollicking, knee-slapping Nova Scotia tale that has the mark of a legendary Bluenose storyteller, while adding a contemporary twist that will keep you wide-eyed and entertained through the most harrowing nor-easter.

- Lesley Choyce, author of In The Kingdom of Cheese There Are No Heroes

The funniest Maritime book since Anne of Green Gables. Move over, Lucy!

- Bob Kerr, writer, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Still Standing

Total fun from start to finish; you will keep reading well into the night. I already can't wait for the next one!

- Jonathan Whitelaw, author of the Bingo Hall Detectives series

Invoking familiar place names and provincial icons like the Bluenose, Pottie spins a hilarious yarn like a seasoned storyteller.

Vernon Oickle, author of the 'Crows' series

A glorious blend of historical fiction, absurdist comedy, and full-throttle maritime mayhem. Pottie weaves together a caper so riotous and fast-paced that I found myself laughing out loud at least once per page. The tone is sharp, the dialogue crackles and the storytelling somehow straddles multiple time periods while feeling hilariously contemporary. If you love books that mix high-stakes adventure with low-stakes decision-making by teenagers, if you enjoy stories where small-town legends get out of hand, or if you simply need a reason to believe in the sheer power of fiddle-driven anarchy-The Great Lunenburglary is the book is for you.

- Jeff Biederman, Award-winning author of Life with Derek, Spun Out and Radio Free Roscoe

Not particularly accurate about 1920s radio, but totally accurate about Lockeport, NS (boooo!).

- Prof. Kenn Scott, author of On Our Wavelength: broadcasting history from a Canadian perspective

This winning Maritime caper is enough to make a Vancouver boy like me think maybe I've spent a lifetime on the wrong coast. Like good taffy, this one's bright, colourful, full of salt water and guaranteed to stick with you.

- Charlie Demers, CBC's The Debaters; author of Property Values

Lockport = trash

"If you're Canadian and love to laugh you've already read it, so congrats fellow Pipperoo!"

Local Author and high praise

"I happened to stop by my local store while the author was there signing books. I've seen the book around and decided today is the day I should pick up a copy! The author was very nice and the staff were eager to share how much they enjoyed the book so I am looking forward to when I have time to read it!"

CattleDog (5/5)

Brilliant!

"I laughed more in the first four pages of this book than during some multi-hour comedy movies. Pottie's voice is unapologetically colloquial, and ubiquitously Nova Scotian. In short, she's a right some 'tunderin good read, my son. I don't even mind that my town is evil. #IndigoEmployee"
