Reviewer Comment - Lola Derez STEM Mysteries Book 1 (Episodes 1 and 2) (October 2022)

"I finally had time to sit down and read that cool STEM mystery book you donated to the Clearfork Camp. I liked it a lot, and I think the kids will, too. I thought it was well written and liked the way Spanish was interspersed. Thank you so much...I really enjoyed it. I'm glad he is writing a series."

Reviewer Comment - early draft of the Phantom Vandals Mystery (January 2021)

“Lola’s curiosity takes readers on a quest for clues, using science to gather evidence in The Phantom Vandals Mystery. In Adrian’s first of a series of books encouraging STEM education for girls, the author uses Lola’s curiosity to introduce readers to the scientific method and to show how science is all around us, even in our kitchens! This book is a page-turner… I can’t wait for the next book!”
