READERS' FAVORITE Five star review~Boy patriot

Thomasina Tissue’s writing is engaging and vivid, bringing the historical setting to life while maintaining a sense of adventure. The characters are well-developed, with Tanya’s determination and curiosity driving the story forward. The inclusion of real historical figures and locations, such as Anna Strong and the Old Roe Tavern, adds authenticity, making the story educational as well as entertaining. Boy Patriot balances historical accuracy with imaginative storytelling, making it an excellent choice for young readers interested in history and adventure. The exploration of loss, hope, and the importance of family is handled with sensitivity, offering moments of reflection alongside the excitement of uncovering secrets and solving mysteries. It is a memorable story that will leave young readers inspired and curious about the history that shaped their world. ~Reader's Favorite Review

"Laced with legend, intrigue and kid-led daring, this story brings a long-buried history into sharp focus through the eyes of a curious heroine. Tissue crafts an adventure that pulses with heart and holds its mysteries tightly until the finish." ~Big Bang Notable Book Review

Readers' favorite five star review

The Water's Edge, by Thomasina Tissue, was a lot of fun to read, and even as an adult, I found it to be a delightful bit of escapism. I love a good heist and am more inclined to it when the group not only has a valiant motive but also when they are underdogs. And who is a greater underdog than kids up against skilled conmen? What I really enjoyed the most though was Tissue giving extremely deep insight into the Setalcott tribe, who were almost completely decimated after many millennia of life after the arrival of Europeans, as part of the story. Tissue does well in giving us hidden metaphors, the standout to me being that we cannot simply bury the past. As soon as the digging starts, literally, pieces of the past resurface. We may not be responsible for what happened, but we are accountable, and Tanya is willing to risk all to right what she can of past wrongs. For the author to weave this tightly into a chapter book for children is remarkable. Very highly recommended.

About Thomasina Tissue

Thomasina Tissue grew up on Strong's Neck, Long Island. Captured in her heart at a young age, her stories are woven from a tapestry of a time spent, long ago, in the salty ocean air, walking along beaches, laughing with friends, and mixing her own wild imagination with regular and not-so-regular things that happened to her. And there the stories bided their time for over forty years. After leaving Long Island, she grew, married, and became a teacher of reading and writing, all the while continuing to feel the longing to write her own stories.

Her debut novel, The Water’s Edge, was inspired by the original Setalcott people of the Setauket area, of Long Island, New York. Her second middle-grade work, Boy Patriot, received a Kid’s Choice Kid’s Literature Writing Contest Honorable Mention, in 2023, pre-publication. Hard cover, soft cover, and e-books available. Scroll up for links.

Besides writing, Thomasina’s favorite things to do are meeting other people's dogs and giving them scritchies, yoga, traveling the world, pretending she is fluent in Spanish and loving on her sweet daughter Emma, and husband Dan, and not all in that order. (The above photo was taken at Seal Beach, Newburgh Beach, North Sea, Scotland.)
