‘A delightful new book…for those middle-grade readers who look for adventure, danger and overcoming challenging obstacles.’ * ReadPlus *
‘Archbold makes this such an edge-of-the-seat adventure…Far North Queensland can be a wild place with the sweeping rainforests and deadly animals…it was riveting to see this young group of kids brave the precarious landscape.’ * Better Reading *
‘With its non-stop action, very proactive heroes, and constantly unfolding mystery, this is an adventure which upper primary aged readers of both sexes would thoroughly enjoy.’ * Magpies *
‘A deft exploration of blended families and evolving friendships built around a mystery reminiscent of the adventure stories of old.’ * Readings *
‘The setting is so well described and immersive that by the end of the book you want to stay with the characters and hear more about what becomes of them…A refreshing yet familiar, fun read, hopefully we’ll see more of The Sugarcane Kids in the years to come.’ * StoryLinks *
