- “If ever a girl could make her mark on the world, it is Hallelujah Wonder…. With [her] at the helm, Wonder is full-blown adventure tinged with mysticism, intelligence, and the spirit of discovery.”–Booklist, starred review“As in Jacqueline Kelly’s The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, Lu’s main focus is scientific exploration, and her informative musings will have readers wanting to do scientific research of their own…. An informative and richly detailed historical adventure.”–School Library Journal“Pulse-quickening exploits and taut descriptions will keep readers riveted…. Helget’s tale celebrates the curiosity and mystery of life.”–Kirkus Reviews“Readers looking for a plucky heroine may find it a good fit.”–VOYA
