Review
"It's a good read! Recommended." (CM Magazine 20060101)
"A tightly written [book] about developing new relationships, learning to trust, and taking responsibility...Like other Soundings titles, Home Invasion presents a realistic teen with a problem that lends itself well to discussion." (Hip Librarians Book Blog 20060101)
"The author's two ways of addressing the issue of home invasion are clever and insightful." (Montreal Review of Books 20060201)
"This book captures the thrill of spying on someone without their knowledge as well as giving tips on home security." (Resource Links )
"A short little book with a lot going on; it will definitely appeal to YAs, especially reluctant readers. Josh's voice is convincing as he struggles with his family, his girlfriend, and other personal issues." (KLIATT )
"Reluctant and struggling readers will enjoy this fast-paced story from the Orca Soundings series. Short chapters, easily accessible language, and a swiftly moving plot combine to make this book and the series popular with teens." (VOYA )

*I was turning the corner to my street when I spotted the key. Because of the way the sun was shining, it glistened. Someone had left it right in the lock of their front door.
The house was a small red brick cottage that looked a lot like ours. I walked up the front stairs and raised my finger to the doorbell. My plan was to let whoever lived there know they'd forgotten the key.
I didn't ring the doorbell. I turned the doorknob and let myself in.*
