Praise from Reviewers
"An unexpected lesson that shows 'learning to fall' is an important step in developing resilience." Kirkus Review
"Overall, Eight Times Up is an interesting and engaging fast-paced read with strong, positive messages about self-control, self-improvement, and self-discipline." Recommended. Allison Giggey, CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"Readers will be inspired to research discrimination in sports based on religious practices. ...Ideal for martial arts fans looking for fiction that reflects their world, or else fictional guidance on relieving anxiety, Corr’s text could also serve as a launch pad for research on female Muslim fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad." Recommended. Laura Dooley-Taylor, Librarian, Illinois
"It excited me that an author wrote a book on mental health, acceptance, and mindfulness geared for younger readers! Where was this book when I was growing up!?...I have a teenage son who is going through the same issue with anxiety and has a heart bigger than he comprehends - I cannot wait to share this with him!" LibraryThing.com
"This book is so good. I wish I had read more books like this when I was still at the middle grade reading level. ...I would highly suggest this even if you, like me, are not still in the 8-12 age range of reading levels!" Goodreads.com
