- “Juliet’s Opera is sure to create many a young fan of traveling at sea! The book really captures the beauty and excitement of being on the sea and the reader is drawn into the world of being on board a famous ocean liner. The author brilliantly produces a sense of experience and adventure which the reader can gladly share!” – Dr. Sam Hunter, DCM, Queen Mary 2
- “Juliet’s Opera is a charming story that grabbed me right away and moved me along on the first of Evelyn Burke’s adventures. The central character, Evelyn, is bright, very well mannered and an ideal role model for my daughters. This exciting book also left me longing to make a transatlantic crossing by sea as soon as possible. I could almost hear the waves lapping against the beautiful Queen Mary 2. Thank you, Tod Steward, for writing such a lovely tale for girls (and their mothers). And I look forward to reading and learning more about this fortunate little girl!” – Christian Cobb, Avid Reader and Mother of Four
