Media: The COMET’S CURSE also receives a featured review in SHOJO BEAT MAGAZINE, the largest Shojo magazine in the U.S. (110,000+ circ):
“All the kids are likeable … the rocketship’s computer provides a dash of snarky humor.”

Other great reviews: “This book has forever changed my opinion … filled with a constant eerie mystery and a little hint of romance. What I liked most about this book is the description of character. It was like I had met each person in the book personally. Dom Testa did a wonderful job creating the sense of suspense, and character.” —Flamingnet.com

“This first entry in the Galahad series has an irresistible hook … one part Lord of the Flies and one part TV reality show … fans will enjoy Testa’s spare Asimovian plot, but even those leery of the genre will appreciate how each chapter alternates to the past to further flesh out our protagonists. Stealing the show is the Galahad’s mischievous central computer, Roc.” —Booklist
