Today I learned of a 12-year-old student’s book review of Cracking the Ice. Among other things, the student said my novel was a “masterpiece.”
Exquisite taste, no?

But this book doesn’t just cover a black hockey player at a prep school; it’s for anyone trying to succeed in difficult situations.” -- Richard Harris
