Eureka was a moving and thoughtful look at a little known moment in history. I loved the use of novel in verse as it helped the reader not only move easily through the book but also feel the tension as it ebbed and flowed in the book. I loved the relationships that we saw form in the book and also wished that we could have seen more of it at times. I thought the use of culture was also very well done and would lead young readers to want to know more about it. Overall it was an amazing read.

I am huge fan of Victoria Chang as a poet, and this novel in verse did not disappoint. Wonderful telling of a little-known part of history. Chang uses the lyrical elements of the genre to pull of a wonderful, accurate read.
