The Galaxy According to Cece
"Sherry Roberts's book has so much to offer! Most of the story focuses on the transition after a big move and many children will be able to identify with Cece's feelings, even if they apply these to the way they felt when they moved from an elementary school to a middle school. Strong themes of friendship are present throughout the story and Cece's new friends help her feel braver as she deals with bullying. I enjoyed the paranormal hints and was pleased by the surprise ending, opening up the potential for a series. The star chart and coordinates for Cece's star are a great way to keep readers involved after they turn the last page! The Galaxy According to Cece is a good choice for middle graders who enjoy stories about adjustment and friendship with sports and paranormal references."

What's Wrong with Barnaby?
What's Wrong With Barnaby? received a 5-star review on Readers' Favorite.
"I’m sure many children experience the blues just like Barnaby. They wish the snow or rain would disappear when they become bored. Nothing they do will keep their attention for long. Barnaby suffered from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which can affect both adults as well as children. I liked how Barnaby dealt with SAD. He didn’t want to have the blues and tried different activities to stay happy. Sherry Roberts has written a lovely story that shows how children can cope with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The illustrations by David Sanchez are also nice too. What’s Wrong With Barnaby? by Sherry Roberts is a picture book that parents and teachers will find useful to help children fight the blues. I recommend it."
