"Ms. Love’s Mystical Island Adventure is a wonderful tale that kids are going to love. The dream-like environments, “sock you in the eye” color, and zany characters created by artist Patrick Harrington are the perfect surreal visuals to accompany the story. The combination makes for a fun and wild ride!”

“Wow! The story seems to combine components of many successful children’s books – kind of like Wizard of Oz meets Harry Potter meets Magic Tree House. I thought it was really well done – kudos!”

“Ms. Love’s Mystical Island Adventure is a kick, from beginning to end. Four kids arrive on the island expecting to be mere observers to a mystical phenomenon and end up – what else? – saving the world. It’s an empowering concept, executed with savvy flair by author Susan Love and illustrator Patrick Harrington. Young readers will be captivated by the dynamite story and will quickly find a character with whom they can identify: athletic Miguel, artistic Arthur, take-charge Sabrina, or intuitive Lucy.”
“Harrington’s vividly imaginative illustrations and animations supply just the right touch of visual suspense and humor. Altogether, it’s an awesome package.”

“It is magical to experience Ms. Love’s Mystical Island Adventure coming into the fullness of Susan Love’s vision for it. Ms. Love’s own journey to write the book—and to not only stimulate in her own students a deeper desire to read and learn, but to love doing so—is both fascinating and incredibly inspiring. In this story, she has sent well-developed characters with diverse natures and interests on an action-packed, yet thoughtful journey to save Earth’s ozone layer. A fantasy setting and character quirks are enhanced richly by evocative language and snappy dialogue. It is thoroughly gratifying to see Patrick Harrington’s brilliantly hued mystical illustrations and animations bring Ms. Love’s fun fantasy narrative so gorgeously to life in a total package I’m sure young readers and their caregivers are going to adore.”
