Editorial Reviews

"Maddie Surfs for Cyber Pals addresses an important issue for too many of today's young people--chatrooms on the Internet. These small, easy-to-handle pocket-sized novels are an appropriate reading level for children between the ages of 6 and 9. Older struggling readers could also enjoy the topics as they develop their literacy skills."

— CM: Canadian Review of Materials

"This novel contains not only an interesting plot but proves thought provoking and informative. The characters are appealing ... ideal for beginning chapter-book readers."
