Reviews / Votes
"Dead Man's Switch was a very intriguing book and I could hardly put the book down! Every chapter was interesting and suspenseful. This book will captivate the young adults who read it and I am looking forward to introducing the book to the older students!"-Dale Ketcheson, Early Years Literacy Support/Reading Recovery, Rivererheights School "I could not put this book down. This thriller moves right along, from one perilous and nail-biting situation to the next. Not only that, but the book touches on major issues important to people whose future will be more and more wrapped up in technological advances-privacy, security, and power. I will recommend this for my middle- and high-school students."
-Yvonne M. Lacy, M.L.S., librarian, Liberty Christian School "This book is in particular suspenseful, a page-turner. It would make a great movie!"
-Sandy Lange, Literacy Center Coordinator, Lake Pend Oreille High School
