From the moment Jill and her sociopathic tourist head into the mountains until her final harrowing escape, the suspense is palpable. Both reluctant and avid readers who enjoy nail-biting tension will race through to find out whether or not Jill reaches safety. -- (10/15/2010) This quick read from the Orca Soundings series will keep teens riveted to the terror Jill feels. --Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's Media (09/01/2011) Reluctant readers will like this action-filled read. --Washington State Young Adult Review Group (12/01/2011) Nail-biting suspense, fast-paced adventure, and believable characters will pull even the most reluctant reader through to the end...Strongly recommended where action/adventure titles are needed. -- (01/01/2011) The story is fast moving, and reluctant readers will be on the edge of their seats as Jill tries to outrun--and outthink--her tormentor in this suspenseful page-turner. --The Horn Book Guide (04/01/2011) Thrilling and fast-paced...[Knifepoint] will appeal to those who struggle with reading...The Rocky Mountains setting is an inspired backdrop for the gripping suspense of this novel. --Resource Links (10/01/2010) I can't remember ever reacting to a book the way I did with Knifepoint; it was crazy to actually feel my heart beating through my chest. The story was so real; I can see how this novel could really help reluctant readers become interested in reading. It's a very fast read, but well worth it! Four stars! -- (03/15/2011)
