This book is rich in vivid imagery. The author describes events so clearly that it leaves graphic images in one's mind. The characters in <em>One If</em> are perfectly designed. and form an inextricable alliance to bring an unpredictable climax to this book's intriguing story. In this book, there is a clear intention to inspire teenagers to be courageous and believe in their abilities to effect positive change in the world. Carol also portrays the pressure teenagers experience because they seek vocations that are contrary to what people expect of them in this piece. I love everything about this book! I, therefore, rate <em>One If</em> 4 out of 4 stars. I am recommending this book to lovers of fantasy adventures, especially young adults who like courageous female characters.</p><p><strong>Bianca Marais, Best-selling Author of <em>Hum If You Don't Know the Words</em>-</strong>I found <em>One If</em> to be an interesting, fast-paced premise. The world-building was compelling and the environmental themes are timely. Well done!</p><p><strong>Ilene S, Librarian Media Specialist North Bellmore, NY and Wantagh NY School District Librarian-</strong>As a career librarian who has researched and selected books for public school libraries and large library systems, I have learned at the heart of good writing is an author who has something to say that people need to know. I highly recommend <em>One If </em>as a well-written, fast-paced YA Fantasy with a relevant message. <em>One If</em> will inspire girls to embrace STEM-science, technology, engineering, and math-an important mission. The book also widens the lens on the impact of climate change, something we all need to know more about. The bonus-it's a great read that's great fun! </p><p><strong>Mary K and Friends of the Hills Book Club-</strong>I just finished reading <em>One If</em> in my sunny reading corner. A breathtaking ending, just sprouting a sequel! Thank you for this inspiring adventure. Young people need heroes who model selfless, courageous behavior (like Parker) and drive motivation for others to do work for the betterment of humanity. You've done a tremendous service. </p><p><strong>Dr.</strong> <strong>G. Liu, Los Angeles CA-</strong><em> One If</em> is incredible!! I was so wrapped up in reading it and invested in all the characters. Each of them are well developed and play an integral part. I need to know what happens. How do they save the planet? I can totally relate to Henley and her story as it was always the pressure to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer in my family. I love how each character is so strong but also has a vulnerable aspect to them. Everything was so exciting and if I didn't have to read it in chunks because of work, I would have been up finishing it in one night. I absolutely loved it. </p><p><strong>P. Anand-</strong>Fantastic story! I admire the diverse characters and commend the authenticity of each character in it. I found the book riveting, touching, and incredibly authentic despite introducing a whole new foreign world to the reader. </p><br>
