What People Are Saying

Even before its official publication, kids, parents and various others have had the chance to experience Quinn’s story. Here are some of the things they had to say.

It grabbed me in the way that Harry Potter grabbed me. It’s not complex in it’s writing but the adventure that young Quinn goes on after touching a strange coin was packed with intrigue and danger.

Why would I, as a parent, recommend Wyvern to my kids? Firstly, it is a charming, engaging story that draws you into its world and makes you care about the outcome. Secondly, the way the author was able to introduce such an important subject into the main characters makes the issues much less scary. It also opens the door for discussion between kids and adults.

Linda Eddy, Parent

As a reader, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author writes with an obvious love of the world and the characters he has created. His descriptions of the scenery; buildings, landscape, people and places were written in such fine detail, the world in its entirety is brought to life in your mind.

I truly loved Wyvern. It was very interesting and it had a lot of action. Wyvern would help someone learn more about transgender people because it shows the struggles Quinn went through. The most important message is that being different is okay. I gave Wyvern 5 stars.

Y., Grade 6

I gave Wyvern 5 stars. I really liked the storyline and all the twists in the story. I think the most important message is that it is okay to express yourself and no one can make you into something you’re not. I would recommend Wyvern because it is a very interesting, funny, cool book to read.

T., Grade 6

I gave the book a rating of 5 stars because honestly that’s what it truly deserved. The book was amazing! I love the characters and the wordings are just beautiful. I really love Quinn’s character because you could really relate to him. I didn’t even know transgender people existed before Wyvern introduced them to me. If I learned about them because of this book, other people will too. I would recommend this story to a friend because the story is amazing and I know they’ll love it.

M., Grade 6

I liked the book because it had a lot of detail and emotion. I think the most important message was: it doesn’t matter what body you’re in, you are who you are.

A., Grade 6

I liked the book because it taught me about people who are trans and what they go through, and it might teach others too. I think the message was ‘be yourself’. I think the author wanted us to think about what people who are trans go through in life.

Maia, Grade 6

I gave Wyvern 4 and a half stars. This book would help someone learn more about transgender people because it shows how hard it is to be trans. My favourite character is Teodor because wy is free-spirited and funny. The most important message was not to treat anyone differently!

Vaneeza, Grade 6

I loved the book! It’s definitely 5 stars beacuse the author told a meaningful story about loving who you are in an entertaining way. Most LGBT books are all about bullying but this one was an adventure! It was so deep and I did not want to stop reading! I thought the most important message was that you have to love who you are. I would recommend this book to someone else because it’s so hard to put down and it has a great message.
