Check out this CanLit for Little Canadians review of Outlaw in India, the fifth book in the Submarine Outlaw series.

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

“Perhaps the most imposing character in Outlaw in India is not a character at all.  It is India.  The country, as Alfred experiences it, is a living entity, a complicated being of the expected, (e.g., the heat and amazing foods), and the surprising (e.g., discrimination and kindness).Though the series could easily be promoted as a great adventure series for boys, the Submarine Outlaw books will continue to garner fans of both genders for its great characters and adventure with a frisson of the impossible and the hope for everything working out well (a.k.a. the happy ending). Readers will continue to find all that here in Outlaw in India, fresh and engrossing, just as each new book in the series has offered.”

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

“Philip Roy’s young-adult novel, Blood Brothers in Louisbourg (CBU Press), is a swiftly told, exciting, informative read that will also appeal to older readers….Roy writes economically but with sensitivity and a strong visual sense….[He] has a firm grasp of the history and culture of his setting but, as related by his brace of protagonists, the novel has an immediacy and freshness that never threatens to bog down his story….Roy’s novel is remarkably entertaining for any reader, and would make a great read.”
