Kirkus Reviews: “an intuitive young heroine visits the world of Cloudscape in this middle-grade prequel … the authenticity of Matilda’s feelings (dutifully recorded in her journal) is a winning quality.” (review of Cloudscape: Matilda’s Story)
Kirkus Reviews: “Courtney’s lighthearted adventure offers rudimentary atmospheric science bolstered by fantastical sensory flourishes … the book excels at tactile descriptions …” (review of Cloudscape: Charlie’s Story)
