Critics Review
What an enjoyable, well-written mystery! I would recommend this one to many teen aged boys in my library.
“A well written and interesting take on the typical foster kid story. Actually nothing is typical here.” – Faith Kenney * NetGalley *
”…a mystery that eventually explodes in a rather macabre climax. A decision Joey’s case worker makes near the end of the novel may stretch credulity a bit, but make no mistake - Joey’s intense, gripping narration of his heartbreaking life will haunt readers.” * Booklist *
“Always entertaining and constantly filled with suspense, Property of the State will captivate its young audience.” – Rob Bentlyewski * TeenReads *
“What an enjoyable, well-written mystery! I would recommend this one to many teen aged boys in my library.” – Alexandra Klaus * NetGalley *
