"Linda's background in theatre served her well in front of an
audience of rambunctious students. She
captivated them with Jason's fantastical story.
The questions that followed indicated just how
much the reading had made an impression. I am
certain that many rushed home to see what
historical artifact may lie in their own attic,
another magic bugle perhaps? A week after the
reading, the local bookseller called me up to
inquire about the Jason books. A number of
students who were at the reading had come into
the shop wanting to read more!"
Barbara Edwards, Librarian, Vancouver Public
Library, Vancouver, BC
"They're amazing books, very interesting and when's the third
one coming out?"
John Wagner, Regina, Saskatchewan, age 11
“Like a bugle that shows you hidden magic when you play it,
Jason and the Wonder Horn and Jason and the
Deadly Diamonds are breaths of fresh air for
kids longing for adventure. Readers of all ages
will feel their hearts pounding as they turn the
pages.”
Alec Dwyer, Houston, Texas, age 11
“I really enjoyed reading the Jason books
because of their historical background and
because of the characters. I found it
fascinating to read about what life was like
during different time periods in old Europe, and
the characters really brought the book to life
for me. I would definitely recommend these books
to anyone.”
Colleen Cordukes, Cobourg, ON, age 16
“Linda Hutsell-Manning enchanted the students
with her wonderful readings and enthusiasm for
writing during her visit to Copper Cliff Public
School. She inspired many students to pursue
their story writing during her writing workshop.
The students and staff of our school were
thrilled to have her visit us for the day!”
Copper Cliff Teacher, Katrina Nadeau
"I really like
the German peoples' names, like Wolfgang. I
stayed very focused the whole way through, and I
couldn't wait for the exciting conclusion. I
think that people who like history, or
time-travel, would like Jason and the Wonder
Horn."
Emily Boyd, Moran, Kansas USA, age 8
"Our
granddaughter, Paige, was quite impressed with
your author reading at C.R. Gummow school
(Cobourg, ON) on September 30/05. She remembered
a lot of detail ie Coburg, Germany and how the
characters in the books were developed. We
wanted to thank you."
