Spicy dialogue makes it perfect for older readers." - Obie Scott Wade, Creator, Producer & Writer "SheZow!""Gripping and fun...can't wait for the next chapter." --Emmett Williams, Mission Man Media“Was hooked right from the beginning. A world in which dolls have not only an inner life but a truly rich, engrossing outer one complete with kick ass magic fights. What an original and wonderful concept with some remarkable depth. Wish I had a voodoo doll growing up. This is gonna be the next big thing.” --John Hartman, Actor and Author, Sept. 24, 2012."Intriguing and exciting as hell! Bruce Elgin has been there, done that, and knows how to turn a phrase. If you don't pick up this book ASAP, you're missing a terrific bet." --No. 1 Kindle bestselling author Shane Gericke, TORN APART“I read "Schooled" having little previous knowledge of what it was about and limited exposure to Voodootown, but I was quickly transported to a cool new world where dolls are badasses and us humans owe them a huge debt of gratitude. I found myself quickly invested in the characters and engaged in the mythology, magic and action. In short, I wanted more. Did I mention these dolls kick all kinds of ass? Looking forward to Twister and Janey's next adventure and finding out more about Voodootown's creative cast of characters!” --Jason Hefter, author, “Hump Day”"I still remember the slings and arrows of my teen years. If only I'd had a secret companion who knew a little something about push pins and stuffing. This engaging, story-rich introduction to Voodoo Town has me hoping it will be my new fix for the kind of teen-centered novels we've all indulged in. This time, no vampires. It's better than that, it's a whole new world of occult fun with a painfully human touch."--Nicole (Ninja Mom) Shaw, humorist, writer, "Ninja Mom Blog"
