Praise for The Romeo and Juliet Code: "Phoebe Stone's The Romeo and Juliet Code is quite simply the best novel for young readers I've read since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.'. . . The Romeo and Juliet Code shows that truth will win out -- and that Stone has written a masterpiece for young readers everywhere. - The Boston Globe"Stone's intricate and lyrical novel, set during WWII, resembles The Secret Garden in all the best ways. . . . Stone's accomplished tale provides a romantic yet realistic perspective on family, perseverance, and adaptation." - Publishers Weekly, starred review"The story's strands satisfyingly come together in a plot full of intrigue, with well-integrated historical and literary references. On top of all that, Flissy is a kick, her ever-so-proper manners and stuffy Briticisms belied by her abundant curiosity and consequent meddling." - The Horn Book, starred review
