Recent Praise
"Matt and his friends must overcome evil just like the group did in Stephen King’s, It, or
the young Wizard in Harry Potter. The story also is reminiscent of the Hardy Boys
mysteries and the coming-of age movie Goonies with the addition of the
supernatural….”- Donna Smith, The US Review of Books
"…Themes of family, love, and good versus evil are highlighted in Matt’s quest, while
the descriptive narrative is imaginative… Matt Monroe and The Secret Society is an
enchanting and engrossing tale of good battling evil in a mystical world, and is suitable
for young teenage fans of light fantasy." - Maya Fleischman, Clarion Book Review
"The ending is truly spectacular and for one, was not at all what I was expecting. I would
definitely recommend this YA book to others." - Ionia Martin, Top 500 reviewers for
Amazon.com
Matt Monroe and The Secret Society is available in both print and ebook format.
