“Fishbane’s affection for her subject shines through, making the character of Maud herself come alive for readers. An engaging depiction of an ambitious young woman . . . Maud is highly recommended for teen and adult readers.” —National Reading Campaign

“[T]here’s nothing dated about the relentless lack of understanding and warmth [Maud] experienced in her family life, something Fishbane conveys with aplomb.” —The Toronto Star

“An engaging addition that will appeal to more than just fans of L.M. Montgomery.” —School Library Journal

“… Maud will serve as a gateway to the world of Montgomery, which, even after more than a century, is in no danger of being exhausted.” –Quill & Quire

“Fishbane places her readers in the historical and geographical environs of the teenage Montgomery and enhances their understanding of one of Canada’s most beloved authors.” –CM Magazine

“Fishbane’s historical research is thorough and comes out beautifully in the narrative. . . . [T]he spirit of Montgomery’s writing breathes subtly within the pages.” —Historical Novel Society
