Recenzijas

Praise for Fathomless

The plot is original and surprising, with themes about belief in oneself and sibling rivalry that stay true to the age of the audience; the story also incorporates well-presented ideas about morality, ethics, family, and the frailties of adults. . . . A clever plot, taut writing, and sophisticated emotional themes bring a remarkable depth to this sequel. Kirkus, Starred Review

Praise for Spineless   San Miguel concocts a comical and exciting tale that leads to a wild, suspenseful, storm-tossed climax while weaving in thoughtful ruminations on the necessity of giving science, people, and nature their just dues, too. Booklist, Starred Review   This exceptionally well-written story gives a nod to the era's fascination with creepy hauntings and dastardly secrets as it expertly transports readers into the atmosphere of 19th-century Florida, uniting well-drawn, nuanced characters with imaginative and tension-building plot twists. . . . Pure storytelling at its best. Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review   Algie has a winsome urgency that makes him likable. . . . His relationships with his family and new friends are realistic and evolve as Algie, Frankie, and Lulu face dangerous adults. In the life-threatening denouement, Algie displays a nuanced empathy for others. School Library Journal  

Samantha San Miguel grew up on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Living sandwiched between ocean and estuary gave her a wholehearted respect for wildlife, especially the kind that can eat you. Shes spent countless hours scanning for sea monsters, but the only ones shes seen so far have been in her imagination. Samantha dreams of one day seeing with her own eyes the landscapes from her abuelitos stories of Cuba. She can be found online at samanthasanmiguel.com.
