About the Author
Patrick Carman makes his home in the wilderness of eastern Washington and insists that it is a rather ordinary home and is not, in fact, surrounded by stone walls. He divides his time between writing, public speaking, spending time with his wife and two daughters, reading, fly fishing, para-gliding, and snowboarding. Before writing his first novel, Carman helped to create board games, websites, a mentoring program, and a radio music show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful reading for the entire family!, September 23, 2007

By	Shannon "shassmom3" (Fort Mill, South Carolina) - See all my reviews

We actually listened to book #1 while on a road trip.
The family enjoyed the book so much that we have purchased all three books to add to our personal book collection. Now we are fighting over who gets to read them first!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, inquisitive girl as central character in fantasy, September 11, 2007

By	MOM2-3 "student-mom" (Troy, Michigan) - See all my reviews

A great read for 4-6 graders. The main character, Alexa is a strong 12 year old girl. She is thoughtful and brave. She is asked to take a leading role in the future of her community. This book presents a philosophical question for youth, are walls meant to keep things in or out?

4.0 out of 5 stars by Steven Maus, author of Branchwater, October 30, 2008

By	Steven A. Maus - See all my reviews

Patrick Carman has crafted a wonderfully charming account of a girl with a spirit that can't be contained within the walls of Bridewell. Young Alexa Daley embodies that wish which consumes children and adults alike - the wish to leave behind the dreary confines of everyday life and discover something wonderous and alive, brimming with adventure and excitement. That is exactly what Carman gives his readers; the chance to escape into the pages, and to flee the restraints of this world, and to travel with Alexa to solve the mysteries of the world.
