Many of my classmates are also doing a project on Swordbird. I think the following quotes are very helpful and valuable:
“I was struck by the richness of your vocabulary, especially your descriptions of the forest and the names of the birds. When Turnatt appeared, your language became suitably ‘dark’. Your explanation of the way in which the Reds and Blues became enemies was believable - and meaningful for the world today. And you built up the suspense well near the end when Miltin was so brave”.--- Dr. Barr
“Your book was absolutely amazing. I have never had a book that I can read twice in a row and still love, but yours I can read multiple times and still not want to leave it.” --- Alex
“You have been a BIG inspiration to me.” --- Olivia
“A fantasy in the vein of the Redwall series, Fan’s precocious first book (the author’s only thirteen-years old) is enchanting and action-packed.” --- Norwood School’s library, MD
“Swordbird was a fantastic book for children and adults, it made you feel warm inside to know that such a little girl has gone this far to make such a wonderful book.” --- Jackie
“I think that swordbird is a marvelous book; the discriptions of the scenes were amazing, the characters WERE described very well, especially Turnatt.” --- Vix
“There are many messages carried inside Swordbird. The message of peace, of course, that is prevailing throughout the book; I respect this greatly because it is a hard feat to keep that message sailing whenever times are looking tough. I respect peace. It is a beautiful thing. And there is the outside message, which I believe will give hope and courage to generations of young writers to come.” --- Duffy
“You should be very proud that you have such a profound positive influence on kids.” — Mrs. Barnello
“It’s a wonderfully created novel rich in volume and depth.” --- Jade
“Great book. Keep me up on my toes, wanting to read more.” --- Brooke
“I think the book is fanciful, captivating.” --- Carrie
“You’ve inspired me so much, and this was like a kickstart!” --- Grace.
“Swordbird is a beautiful piece sparking the meanings of peace and war. “--- Megan
