Editorial Reviews
Review
"An Instant Classic! Perhaps once per decade, a story comes along like "Lucy and the Lake Monster" to inspire, empower, and equip children with the tools they need to walk this journey of life with faith, confidence, and wisdom." (TV-6 NEWS)
"Champ, our favorite Lake Monster, is the star in this book and film series. Tabor, a teacher in South Carolina, and Rossi, a filmmaker in Los Angeles, have put their creative minds together to form "Lucy and the Lake Monster." (CBS, Kelly O'Brien)
"A gift to bring joy and smiles to the children of the world..." (Religion News Service)
***** "Five Stars Out Of Five! Lucy and the Lake Monster by Richard Rossi and Kelly Tabor is a deeply thoughtful, heart-warming, inspirational, and timeless children's novel. I loved the sweet and caring relationship between Papa Jerry and Lucy. Their dialogue is reminiscent of the precious and unique love between grandparents and grandchildren. Despite the negativity that infuses their world, including bullying and ridicule, Rossi and Tabor managed to keep the story light-hearted. They maintained a perfect balance throughout the plot between the innocence and simplicity of Lucy and Jerry's world and the evil threatening to enter and destroy their faith. I think Lucy and the Lake Monster is an excellent book, beautifully written and filled with many pearls of wisdom that will inspire children never to lose their childlike wonder."
