"My name is Julianna and my dad and I love to read your books we found your first book at Family Christian and totally fell in love with it!! I was so excited to find out you wrote a second book!! I had loved your first book sooooooo much I chose you second book as my birthday book club book. That is a club at my school when for your birthday your parents pay to put a new book in the library and the book is dedicated to you. My school Librarian was so happy about my love for your books that he went out of his way to buy the first book for the library with his own money!!! Now as a result of my love for your books several kids and teachers have read your books. P.S. my school is a Christian school. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!! Your books are a great way to have kids learn the Word and have fun reading a humorous fantasy story!!! To tell you just how much I truly love your books, my class had to select a book that they read this school year and write and present on a book as you may have guessed I chose to do a report on your second book The Dreamer the Schemer and the Robe. Also I got my best friend in to your series and she is doing a report on The Ark the Reed and the Fire Cloud. Now my dad is reading your series to my younger brother Thomas so far he has absolutely loved it - basically my whole family adores you!” -Julianna Chappell age 10, grade 4

I just wanted to let you know how much I love your book The Ark, the Reed, and the Fire Cloud. It is my absolute favorite book! I really love animals, so I was thrilled to find a book with animals and the Bible all in one! I love the way that the animals tell the story. I feel like I’m right there watching them! The book has such a wonderful story line. Thank you for writing books that are fun, amusing, interesting, wholesome, exciting, and glorifying to God. It is hard to find such a gem that combines animals, God, the Bible, and extreme adventure! Thank you so much for doing what you do best. Please keep writing!!
God bless,

Hi Mrs. Cote,
Greetings! It was such a blast to get to meet you in person at the creative writing workshop! Thank you SO much for telling me about it! I have been absolutely ADORING your newest book The Prophet, the Shepherd, & the Star. I have read about 20 some chapters so far. It is so exciting! I love how descriptive you are. Sometimes when I’m reading your book I won’t see the words – I’ll just see what is happening! Once again, thank you so much for writing books that truly glorify God and please Him.
KEEP WRITING AND I’LL KEEP READING! Hugs and God bless,
Sarah :) Midlothian, VA

"I absolutely LOVE your books!! They are amazing! I am widely educated and well read, (over 150 books, and counting) but never have I met a match for your writing. You are historically accurate, yet your books are not boring or above my brothers' (11 year-old Bryce and 6 year-old Blake) intelligence level and understanding. You bring the characters to life with creative, imaginative and colorful words. (I especially love Max and Kate!) Thank you for creating a book I believe has been made to touch my life. I cannot wait 'til the third Max and Liz book comes out in paperback book. Thank your for inspiring me to write more, and let my imagination run wild for God!"~ Bailey Corrinne Fimreite, 14, Wichita, KS

Dear Greatest Author Ever, My name is Lauren and you came to my school one day and talked about your books. Needless to say, I bought one and loved it! I'm 14 and super picky with the books I read. Your books make my top ten! They were EPIC! I couldn't put it down. Your way of writing, sticking to Biblical truth, and your outstanding characters made me laugh, cry, and everything inbetween. I dream of being a future author and have actually written a few of my own. Some of my friends stuck their noses up because it wasn't a "big name series". There was no movie, no t-shirts, and frankly, no one had even heard of you. BUT THEY WERE WRONG. This book wasn't for extremely young readers, and it owns most of the other teen-trash we read now. I understand your passion for animals, and I especially enjoyed "The Ark, The Reed, And The Fire Cloud" because I've often wondered how God brought all the animals together. Great writing, fantastic characters, and a good message: Jesus. Do the world a favor and never quit writing! -Lauren 14

My name is Michaela, and I first came upon the Ark, the Reed, and the Fire Cloud while in a Christian bookstore. My eyes fell upon it, and I grabbed it and read the first chapter or two. I absolutely made my mom buy it, and I was finished and thought about how devoted you are. I want to be a Christian writer when I grow up, and YOU INSPIRED ME!! Your books brought me closer to God than ever, and for that I thank you. I'm in the middle of the Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star and I say: YOU'RE AMAZING! I started crying when Liz was touched by Isaiah's prophecy, of how Jesus was going to die on the cross. Never stop writing! Max and Liz are now fictional characters placed in my heart. God has given you a wonderful gift, and you are using it perfectly!!Thank you Mrs. Cote! Michaela Harding, age 10, grade 5

Grace's review of The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star:
Fantastic! A riveting tale about five creatures on a seven hundred year journey that completes the story with the birth of Jesus. A good, descriptive read for anyone 1-100! Loved it and can't wait for the next book to come out!

Dear Mrs Cote, Thank you so much for choosing to write those AMAZING books.I believe you were inspired directly by God to write them and his light is reflecting through your writing.Until I read those books I was annoyed with God, thinking he was kinda a mean person with a judgemental perspective on us as if he "pushed" us into the pool of sin, and then is trying to get us out again. Those were my thoughts for thirteen years until I read your books and they showed me that God IS love and is waiting for us to accept him as our Saviour. This is just to let you know that you impact lives more than you know it. So keep writing for the Lord and bring others closer to God. From C. E., 13, Australia

Hello Ms. Cote! My name is Eliana. I'm thirteen years old, and although your books were intended for some younger than I, I fell in love with your books. I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the depth of your stories and anticipate reading The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star. I also appreciate the biblical accuracy presented in The Dreamer, the Schemer, and the Robe. I found it very fascinating to learn and follow along with a story I know well yet did not really know until I read your book. Thank you so much for writing books that show readers the one true God and provide an amazingly adventurous read--I will ever look forward to the next book of the Epic Order of the Seven. ~Eliana

"I absolutely adore your books! They are fantastic! I was wondering when The Prophet, The Shepherd and The Star was coming out. I know it says 2010 on the website, but I am too curious about when I can get my hands on a copy of the book! Also, are you going to make more books than just four? If so, I am sort of disappointed because you can definitely write more books than just four, since you are a terrific writer!" - Ellie, Norfolk, VA

“I just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the first two books of Max and Liz. My son is 7 and quite an avid reader. We read the first book last fall. I make him allow me to read to him but he likes to read ahead. After we read he loves to tell a lady at our church all about the book and then he takes the book to her so she also can enjoy it. We are anxiously awaiting The Prophet, The Shepherd and Star. He will be overjoyed that there is already another book to come after this one. Thank you Mrs. Cote for writing these wonderful books. It is very difficult to find books that we feel are appropriate for Nathan to read.” - Re-Va Jackson, Missouri

"My name is Joy. My family and I just recently moved from Ontario too Prince Edward Island. When we were still in Ontario, I purchased The Ark, the Reed and the Fire Cloud.I didn't think I would enjoy it much but when we moved here, I felt like I should read the rest of it now. And once I got into it, I couldn't get out. The book made me cry many times because I realized how far I had to go to grow in my faith and noticed how far away we are from God. When I finished The Ark, the Reed and the Fire Cloud I couldn't wait too read the second book!!! Now that I have finished the second book, I can't wait too read the 3rd and 4th! My mom is reading the first book now too."
