“Frailey has written a masterful tale, one that will spark reactions, but also entertain and provide hope. It is a story you will find hard to put down. When you finish, you will be desperate for the next book in the series. Give it a try. It is science fiction at its best.” ~Steven R. McEvoy
“A delightful short story collection that draws you in, wanting more. The author has a unique writing style that captures your attention from the first sentence. I recommend this book to short-story enthusiasts and readers interested in unique perspectives on everyday life.” ~Reedsy/Discovery, Gale Kaufman
“With an old-fashioned air reminiscent of Swallows or Anne of Green Gables, The Adventures of Tally-Ho is bursting with warm and comforting scenes of idyllic pastoral childhood.” ~The Children’s Book Review
“The crisp, lyrical writing delivers characters that are deeply human and stay with you long after you finish the final page. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, this is a story that reminds us of the power of connection and the quiet strength that can rise from even the darkest moments. A must-read for readers of all ages who believe in the redemptive power of story.” ~Scalise
