Praise for The Books of Elsewhere

☆ "The house is as much a character as are Olive, Morton, and her family, and a wicked sense of humor tempers the book's creepiness. A suspenseful plot and insight into childhood loneliness - handily amplified by b&w illustrations - will have readers anxiously awaiting the next book."

-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

☆ "West creates a delightful concoction of quirky humor blended with a rumbling ominous undertone..."

-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review

☆ "Olive’s efforts bring great rewards for herself and her readers. Order the series."

-VOYA, Starred Review
