Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-10-An excellent account of an extraordinary life. Doherty includes extensive chapter notes and bibliographic sources, yet tells the story of Penn's life in an interesting and compelling manner that reads almost like a good adventure novel. It rings with authenticity and with the convictions that guided and defined the life of the Quaker leader. Historical drawings and reproductions enhance the presentation.

Kieran Doherty is a gifted writer and is able to bring to life whatever subject or person he is writing about. Even in his early days as a reporter for the Clearwater (Florida) Sun, his writing style was clear, crisp and lively. Anyone who purchases Kieran's books is in for a treat and will get their money's worth.
