Here's what people have been saying about "Guardian Angel House":

This book is EXCEPTIONAL. I had a difficult time putting it down once I opened it up! Kathy Clark has done another amazing job with this book. It is an extremely easy read as it is geared for the younger generation but it also is so captivating that it appeals to all ages. I never was one interested in history however, after reading this book about the war, the Nazis, the hardships, the relationships between Jewish and Catholic people, and how there was good and honest people helping each other during all the evil that was going on, I am keenly interested in learning more about that period in time. The fact that this book is based on actual events makes it even more captivating to read. I went to the book launch and met the 2 women who are the main characters in the book. It was inspiring to hear them speak and to know that they went through horrific events and survived. It really gives you something to think about with respect to your own troubles and "hardships". Well done Kathy Clark! Amanda Posted on Second Story website

Overall the book is well told and fast paced. Young readers, especially girls, will admire the characters and find the book suspenseful and easy to understand, yet also very educational. Through the makeshift seder with the nuns, Clark is able to explain the similarities between Catholicism and Judaism. And through Lena, the Gypsy girl who takes refuge in the convent, the reader will learn that Jews weren’t the only people persecuted by the Nazis. Guardian Angel House is a welcome addition to this series of award-winning books that includes Kathy Kacer’s Hiding Edith, Karen Levine’s Hana’s Suitcase and several other renowned books.  Read Full Article...

PRESENTATION REVIEW In November of 2007 I had the pleasure of hosting Kathy at the Ottawa Public Library’s Hazeldean branch as part of the Library’s participation is Holocaust Education Week. Kathy presented her then, work in progress, Guardian Angel House, a novel for young adults about a group of righteous nuns who protected Jewish children during the Second World War. Kathy handled the sensitive subject of her book with care and professionalism, appealing simultaneously to the adults and youth in our mixed age audience. Her presentation included extraordinary visuals such as photographs, maps and letters in the form of a slide presentation that served to provide historical and cultural context for the audience.  Indeed, Kathy’s presentation was as much a history lesson as it was a very personal and moving account of a remarkable Holocaust survival story. In addition to her evening at Hazeldean, Kathy presented to several school groups at other branches within the Ottawa Public Library and was very well received by students, teachers and Librarians. Kathy is an experienced and engaging speaker. Karen Beiles Coordinator, Hazeldean Branch, Ottawa Public Library
