Uncle Ronald

...the freshness of the writing, the richness of the cast, and the resilience of the comedy will draw the author's fans. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
[Doyle] is at the top of his form in Uncle Ronald, with all his trademark skills well hones and in tight control. * Resource Links *
...a courageous novel that leads you through the darkness and out into the light; a novel that makes you laugh and cry, as only Doyle, Brian can. * Books in Canada *
...this is a tender, sad and wonderful book. * Globe and Mail *
A not-to-be-missed read - for the evocation of setting, for the genuine feel of the lively local stories, and for the sheer joy of Doyle's prose. * Horn Book *
Doyle has a wonderful grasp of time and place. His unique storytelling voice weaves sound, sight...into an unusual whole. * School Library Journal *
I can't think of a better book for a child who needs a sense of comfort and hope for the future. * Canadian Children's Literature - CBRA *
This is vintage Doyle: the author at his best, and the reader fully satisfied. * Montreal Gazette *
Uncle Ronald is tragicomedy set to an Irish jig. * Quill & Quire *
