“I liked Racing the Rope very much. I thought it was a wonderful book for K-12 students with a lot of positive messages.”

 

     --Marty Winkler, President of RopeSport (ropesport.com)

 

 

“I really enjoyed your book.  I loved the ending, and Geran really did become a big winner, a winner in discovering that there's more to life than what meets the eye, or I should say, more to life than outside the playground. I feel children can learn a lot from this book, it teaches great moral character on Geran's part and also family unity.  Overall, great story!”
