“Rating: G...The Skeleton Coast is a fast-paced adventure story full of difficult questions about climate change and morality....Mardi McConnochie’s novel presents an alarming portrait of a world where climate change has destroyed society as we know it. Is this our future?”—Resource Links
"The Skeleton Coast, by continuing the highly credible adventure, moral questions, and imaginative view of a climate-ravaged future of the previous two installments in the series, brings the story to an exciting and satisfying conclusion....The question of ‘who are the good guys’ is deeply explored, the plight of refugees eerily prescient, and the sailing and survival skills of the kids put to thrilling test as usual....Highly Recommended.”—CM Magazine
“Rating: 4…This non-stop action/adventure book will keep readers flipping the pages quickly to determine the characters’ fates. The combination of environmentalism, adventure, and strong characterization make this an excellent series for purchase.”—Youth Services Book Review

“This is a story that shows all the children having unique and necessary attributes and I liked that gender wasn’t an issue. Bravery is shown by all at different times, as is weakness.”—Canadian Bookworm
