Reviews
"The narrative comes alive with colorful descriptions, such as stout timbers that groan and a "massive mountain...forever leaning in upon itself." Beautiful textured paintings rendered in the style of 19th-century Plains Indian drawings, with acrylic on wood panels, accompany the narrative."--Toby Rajput, National Louis University, Skokie, IL "School Library Journal" (9/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
STARRED REVIEW
"The vivid narrative is valuable in helping readers understand not just the facts but also the experiences of miners in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century America."--Carolyn Phelan "Booklist" (10/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
"The illustrations...are alive, historically accurate, expressive, and realistically rendered."--Marion Mueller, Library Media Consultant, Rawhide Starr Academy, New London, Wisconsin "Library Media Connection" (3/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
"Nelson's acrylic-paint illustrations are gritty and realistic; more evocative still are the historical photographs that appear on nearly every page. A useful and thorough piece of work combining fiction and nonfiction, with an extensive author's note detailing the history of coal mining."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
