"Broken Bones provides the reader with some insight into how archaeologists work and the importance of the science in understand history, social life, customs, and culture." - Resource Links, book review, June 2011 issue "This story provides insights into the problems of youth the choices they must make and the trials of living in another person's home." - The Nugget (Canada) Oct 15, 2011 "McMurchy-Barber has created another suspenseful, humorous, and educational archeological mystery. Peggy's outspoken and sarcastic attitude and enthusiasm, combined with her very real human bias, make her a fallible and believable protagonist who has the capability to change and grow throughout the story. Young readers will identify with her changing emotions and value judgments expressed through her internal thoughts and rants." -- CM Magazine "Broken Bones provides the reader with some insight into how archaeologists work and the importance of the science in understand history, social life, customs, and culture." -- Resouce Links, 20110601
