The Secret of the Old Swing Bridge was recently reviewed for Homeschool Horizons, a brand-new Canadian magazine. Five homeschooling families took the time to read the book over the summer, and their reviews are posted on the Homeschool Horizons website. Here is an excerpt from a review by Heidi Shaw:
"Ian Wilson’s first foray into novel writing is a fun adventure with lots of twists and turns. Written primarily for the late elementary through middle school aged student, my kids found it entertaining and interesting, as did I. Without giving away too many surprises, I can tell you that if your and your children have any interest in Canadian locales, the fun situations 12 year olds can get themselves into, trains, mysteries, etc etc etc. you will find something to enjoy in this book. Young Angus Wolfe loves to explore, loves history and loves his family. His is a good, wholesome character, well rounded and developed (and home educated!), and the story as a whole reads well. The characters Angus and his brother meet are interesting and made me want to find out more of their history as we read."
