Customer Reviews

Anticipation!

I have just ordered the book and am looking forward to reading it! I have heard great reviews about it!

Fast paced adventure!

Eagle Rock is a fast paced adventure with heart. It grips the reader from the first page and doesn't let up until the epilogue. It may be written for readers aged 8-14 but I found it a good read as an adult. The themes in the book (loss, fear and survival) are interesting at any age. As a principal I can tell you that students at my school loved it and talked about the book long after it was finished. Teachers found the questions in the back of the book useful for literature circles. I recommend this book for readers who enjoy Gary Paulson books, Gloria Whelan books and Jean Craighead George books among others.

A riveting adventure story!

When I read Raenette Palmer's Eagle Rock, I couldn't put it down! Not only does it tell a wonderful tale of survival and adventure, it is filled with a certain pathos. Kids in the upper elementary grades enjoy it and the adults who are fortunate enough to read it with them will enjoy it too. Keep more coming, Raenette Palmer!!

Couldn't Put It Down!

As a reading consultant in an elementary school, I saw many teachers of grades 3-5 reading this book as a 'read aloud' to their students. The kids were so riveted by the story that they didn't want it to end! Eagle Rock has become a favorite of 8-10 year olds I know. When I read it, I loved it, too. It reminded me of a Gary Paulson adventure story. I'd highly recommend this book to young readers and adults alike! Raenette Palmer is an exciting new author!
