Maxi the Troll is One Reader's Favorite

An Amazon reader of WHAM! by Carol Marrs Phipps and Tom Phipps says:
"Right from the opening chapter, when the family of Tess Greenwood is torn away by the faceless and sinister Children and Family Assistance, you get a real sense of tension in this story. The world Tess lives in is oppressed and controlled by a brutal government, who watch the citizens with ‘Skinnies’ or ‘skinwelers,’ controlling their lives at any opportunity.
"The world the authors have created is well thought out and a rich array of characters introduced as the story progresses. The characters range from Humans, trolls and elves to fairies and shapeshifters (called skinwalkers) so something for everyone. My favourites are Maxie, a troll and Bart the Crow, who is awesome.
"The action builds as the story progresses...it picks up the more you read. There is even a prison break out, which was much needed to relieve all the oppression. I cheered the characters on at that point, the fight back had begun...
"I would recommend this book and look forward to the release of the next in the series."
