Cullen House Reviews
"(Juniper is) smart, brave, and mature for her age. She's a wonderful heroine and a suitable role model for other young girls. I could go on reading about her adventures with Carter forever but if I must say goodbye, I'm glad she's finding her feet in the adult world. If you or your teen has an interest in environmentalism or a love for nature, this is a series you're bound to enjoy. It isn't your typical YA!"

Books and Such reviews
"With its environmental focus, the inclusion of American-Indian mythology, and a young protagonist who knows her own mind and doesn't bow to the whims of high school drama, the Juniper Sawfeather collection defined itself as an intelligent YA series from page one of the first book, Cry of the Sea.

"The lovable supporting characters are still here - Carter, the supportive boyfriend and Haley, the encouraging best friend, as well as those you love to hate - narcissistic Regina. Juniper's parents are still somewhat controlling, but in comparison to the first book, I liked seeing the turbulent relationship between Juniper and her parents mature to the point that they've begun to trust her decisions and consider her opinions. By the end of this book, Juniper forms a logical plan to carve a path for her future, leaving the door cracked for a possible return to this character at a later time - I'm hoping!

"I'm sad to see this series wrap up, but very pleased with the way the author ended it in that she stayed true to her characters and the story line.
I'd highly recommend this refreshing, smart YA fantasy series."

"I have read all the Juniper Sawfeather books and of the three, I liked Echo of the Cliffs best! Juniper has matured through these three books and knows what she can do and what she wants for her life. The story that began in Cry of the Sea and continued in Whisper of the Woods comes to fruition in this final volume with a heart-wrenching story of Native American mysticism and personal trials. Driver has created a character with Juniper that could live on in many more books. But if her story ends here, you will not be disappointed."
