" Publishers Weekly , January 18, 2011: "This fast-paced, fully imagined fantasy is by turns frightening and funny, and the siblings are well-crafted and empathetic heroes. Highly enjoyable, it should find many readers."

BookPage, April 2, 2011: "With magic, humor and unforgettable characters, John Stephens' remarkable debut novel follows Kate, Michael and Emma as they attempt to outwit the Countess, rescue the children and maybe even save the world in the process. Unanswered questions and two more books to locate ensure a sequel and more robust adventures ahead." Realms of Fantasy, April 2011: " Ambitious, entertaining, magical, and whimsical , this marks a strong beginning to a new trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."

Themes of family and responsibility . . . will easily resonate with young readers." Kirkus , March 15, 2011: "Each character has such a likable voice that the elaborate story doesn't feel overcomplicated. . . . The only gripe readers might initially have is with its length, but by the end, they'll immediately wish it was longer ." Library Media Connection , May / June 2011: "A rollicking fantasy filled with shiver-inspiring evil creatures and quiet heroes . The feisty sisters and the intellectual brother will win the hearts of readers of all ages." CrackingTheCover.com, April 5, 2011: ""Creativity and wit abound in 'The Emerald Atlas.' Author John Stephens could have easily fallen into the trap of building on someone else's ideas. But he doesn't. Stephens doesn't write down to his readers.

- 5***1 (42)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered a paperback copy of The Emerald Atlas that was listed as “very good.” However, several internal pages were folded over and more concerning is that there was a large bend in the cover from top to bottom. This was definitely not very good according to the criteria. The book itself, however, was enjoyable.

- v***v (2069)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
