Recenzii
“Hecht continues to charm readers with delightfully drawn characters and consistent suspense. Bismark's trademark, multilingual adulations fuel both Dawn's eye-rolls and readers' chuckles. Tobin remains cautiously adventurous. His quiet remarks and social perceptiveness ground Bismark's slapstick and elicit warmth from Dawn's cool leadership. Each animal, from the common to the exotic, shines with quirky personalities and endearing traits. A welcome return of the colorful and curious trio—their next can't arrive soon enough. (Fantasy. 9-12)" —Kirkus Reviews
"The Ominous Eye explores how friendships can change, first (and second) impressions aren't always correct, and fear shouldn't stop you from doing what's right. Fans of The Nocturnals will devour this latest adventure with new characters and a thrilling mystery."—Samantha Randolph, Staff Reviewer at YA and Kids Book Central (YABC)
“All the A's a reader could ask for! Animals, adventure, adversity, action... all the elements of a good book, no matter who the audience is. Recommending this book to readers of all ages to share.” –Magi Henderson, Glen Carbon Centennial Library, IL
“It's the return of the Nocturnal Brigade! Join the dynamic trio, Dawn, Tobin and, my personal favorite, Bismark as they search for a mysterious giant beast who is threatening to destroy all the animals in the valley! Every aspect of Tracey Hecht's writing is delightful, from her rich characters to the surprising plot twists she weaves throughout her story. She's once again given us a page turning adventure we won't soon forget.” – Brandi Stewart, Changing Hands Bookstore, AZ
Praise for Tracey Hecht's The Mysterious Abductions
"The Nocturnals is an enchanting story about a group of animals who band together to protect their friends and find adventure. The characters are delightful and the nighttime landscape is captivating. It was just as I expected—because the best stories always take place in the dark!" —R.L. Stine
"A delightful adventure about the power of uncommon traits and the joys of newfound friendship."—Kirkus Reviews
“The characters are humorous and well developed, and the fast-moving plot features intrigue, unexpected twists, and the innovative hybrid hockey game. Accessible to upper elementary while sufficiently sophisticated for middle school, this new animal fantasy series should prove popular."—Booklist
“Tracey Hecht’s first novel is an appealing page-turner for middle-school readers, combining a likable cadre of unusual animal characters with fast-paced, clever dialogue and, of course, plenty of suspense."—BookPage
