Traci J., Denver Lisa Kaniut Cobb's new book is a fun mixture of myth and science, friendship and family, the mountains of Colorado. Her ability to write adventure and action keeps you transfixed as Josh learns lessons about a world he never new existed. |
Helen M., Greenwood Village Lisa's new book is an interesting story from middle school to the mountains of Colorado. Fascinating characters and settings. |

I finished your book last night and just loved it!!! Fantasy runs a tight second behind sci-fi for me, and it didn’t disappoint at all! I enjoyed the story line especially the learning aspects of the characters and small imperfections! Your idea is quite creative and engaging. The book kept my interest all the way through. I’ve read books on shapeshifters before and thought it might be similar, but it appeared to me very unique! I had no idea that the name was derived from a Cheyenne word! I had been wondering how you came up with the name. When can I purchase the second one? Your writing is quite impressive! |

"Out of all the young adult books that I have read, this book feels distinctly different. The kids are relatable and funny. The conflicts in this book are a perfect blend of growing-up angst and environmental awareness. The magic left me wanting to know more. The author’s love of nature shines through the chapters in this book, painting wonderful images of the deep wilderness of Colorado. All that being said, I would highly recommend this book to kids from elementary to middle school ages." |

“Great Book, great vocabulary. Good for my age (10 ½). Let me know when I can read the next one. I liked Rose the best!” |

“I’ve never been kicked out of a restaurant before, especially not my favorite one. Last night I took your book to read during dinner and never noticed when everyone else was gone, they were cleaning the floors and stacking the chairs on the tables! I couldn’t put your book down. What fun. Can’t wait to finish it at home!” |
