Reviews-
Not only did I enjoy reading A King's Ransom but I discovered that my juniors and seniors couldn't put the book down. Fifteen of my students have read the book and there are 50 others waiting to read it. I've taught high school for over thirty years and I have never seen a group of students become so engrossed in a novel. I commend the author, Michael Cole, for writing such a compelling book.
-Laura Little, English Teacher at Capistrano Valley High School.
A King’s Ransom is a quick read and the writing is fluid and believable. The evolution of the story and characters is beautifully woven and depicted. The ending is innovative and a surprise!
The unusual plot twists of A King’s Ransom kept me guessing-and kept me turning pages-right up to the dynamic climax.
- William Greenleaf, Author of The Tartarus Incident
