- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was a cute book. But just not what I expected.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was a cute book good teenage/ya read. Has a lot of layers
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Started out slow, but glad I'm not a quitter, unless really boring or a droll narrator. Except for the annoying message board conversations (don't do them in RL), the book turned out pretty good.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book! It was the importance of the trees and nature! Wonderfully magical!!! Thank you Eric Smith for this phenomenal story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I lived in Philadelphia PA for ten years 2001-11 in Manayunk as I heard the story I could see everything so clearly...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great book well done! I enjoyed it so much well written and looking forward to reading more books from you.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nope, nope for a audio book. It would probably be better as a book for reading but hearing the conversations held in a forum is horrible. Reply blah blah date time name 300 times. It’s painful. Painful painful. Also a lot is very dated who uses Facebook anymore?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Engaging and well done book that melds urban fantasy with a very realistic view on adoption and foster care and all the emotional toll that entails.
Really enjoyable book that grounded me more in Philadelphia than any Rocky movie ever did.
Received a copy of this book via Netgalley for an honest review. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A love letter to my hometown's Wissahickon and Fairmount Park system, and to the coffee houses, friends of the woods, and park rangers of Philadelphia, but also so much more than that -- finding a place to thrive, saving (an important part of) the world, being true to yourself.
This YA is all heart. And leaves. And branches. And mostly heart.
(nota bene: Eric is a friend, we're interviewing him for Cooking the Books & my first novel, Updraft, is mentioned in TG&TG.)
