Reviewers Say:
"Glory is a brave, adventurous, and highly imaginative girl. She makes a believable and likable central character. Her difficulties with her schoolmates are easily recognized; so are the problems that beset her family. In one form or another, they are nearly universal. This makes the book an interesting combination of the familiar and the fantastic." ~ Cherokee R.
"From start to finish this book was a pleasure to read and ponder." ~ Jim B.
"I enjoyed this imaginative book tremendously, rooting for Glory and the whole family. Highly recommended." ~ Lucy M.
"This story is definitely at the top of the list of Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. The author draws you into a realistic dramatic family life with a little fantasy on the side. This crazy family will make you appreciate your own." ~D.R. at Ebook Review
"Glory Alley isn't a wizard, she doesn't slay vampires or zombies, but she kicks butt in her very own way. Her weapon is never giving up. Glory rocks!" ~Nicole from CO

MY HONEST REVIEW OF: The Wish Thief
Glory Alley
loved to collect rocks. It was her escape from living in a dilapidated house
with an alcoholic, abusive father, along with siblings, and classmates who
bullied her. She and best friend Clash are usually found spelunking through
Queen’s Mesa, even though it was off-limits to Glory. She never believed the
folklore about midget Wybbils and a Hoogula devil-dog living in the Mesa caves.
That was before she was chased by the Hoogula, and kidnapped by the Wybbils.
Now all she can think about is getting back to the home and family that she so
despised.
I liked Glory’s
spunky personality. The plot was interesting enough to keep me wondering about
the outcome and how it was going to affect Glory. This took me back to my own
childhood and the adventures I went on. I enjoyed reading from the point of
view of a thirteen-year-old, remembering the awkwardness and alienation at that
age. I can’t wait to read about Glory’s next adventure.
