| June 21, 2011 – | Review by blogger Melissa at YA Bookshelf
“From the richly-drawn characters and psychologically
realistic behaviors to the well-defined setting and plot, Lost
On Brier Island will reward readers looking for a contemporary
novel that deals with emotionally difficult issues in a
thoughtful and realistic way…Yhard develops her audience’s
trust in her understanding of teens and will likely become an
author that readers come back to repeatedly.”

“Lost on Brier Island , from Nova Scotia 's own Nimbus
Publishing, builds gradually to a suspenseful ending that is
somehow both imperfect yet just right. You'll know what I
mean when you're finished. This book will appeal equally to
the young and not-so-young adult reader, in which the kids
are treated as multi-dimensional, real people. Please read it
soon…”
