“Readers will be drawn into this series’ suspenseful plot and want to keep reading to discover along with Cal what his father had learned before his death.” Oneota Reading Journal (2010)
“The Conspiracy 365 series is quite possibly one of the best series books for young adults on the market today. The books are relatively short, and they are very quick reads. This makes it a perfect series for the over-scheduled teens of today who want that instant gratification they can more often find on the computer and in video games. The non-stop action in Conspiracy 365 will grab the reader instantly and not let go until December 31st! Reluctant readers will be inspired to read – and they won’t just be inspired for one book, but rather for twelve. This series could easily take a reluctant reader, and by the end of the twelfth book, turn him into an avid reader. It is a series that would be enjoyed by boys and girls alike, and it has characters that continue to grow and deepen in each book.” – Book Trends, July 14, 2010
“Several factors make this book a top choice for reluctant readers, including the nonstop action, the small trim, the short length and the amount of white space on the pages.” - Kirkus Reviews (December 1, 2009)
“Lord creates a tense environment…the villains are suitably vile and entertaining, and Cal makes for an affable hero.” - Publishers Weekly (December 7, 2009)
"Even the packaging is engaging; there are illustrations and graphics scattered throughout the pages to emphasize discoveries or new puzzles as Cal moves from one dangerous situation to the next. Conspiracy 365: January proves that venturing outside of your usual reading zone can be a good thing. I am looking forward to reading February!” – Manga Maniac Café (May 5, 2010)
“Wow.. that's all I pretty much have to say about this book! …it sure keeps you on the edge of your seat. I definitely think this book is a best seller series in the making, and anyone who likes books with tons of action and a mysterious twist to it will really enjoy Conspiracy 365.” – 14-year-old reviewer, Flamingnet.com , Rating 10 (scale of 0-10)
“…it will be a hit with tweens and they'll be racing to get to the end to see what's next for Cal and his family. I love the idea behind this series… I also loved how the page numbers of the book counted down-it added to the suspense of the story and I hope other readers pick up on it. …It's short and fast paced and I would hand this over to reluctant readers in a heartbeat.” - GreenBeanTeenQueen
“…Gabrielle Lord has created a fantastic concept that is going to suck you in and not let you go until next December. And they are short, quick reads...again, great for a reluctant reader. Recommended for school and library shelves. I think you'll have a hard time keeping these in…” – A Patchwork of Books
“…An edge of your seat thriller you won't be able to put down and will anxiously await the next book in the series!” – Kidsbookshelf.com
“…a rip, roarin', action adventure, thriller that had my heart pumping faster as I gobbled up the pages. And when I was done, I wanted the next book . . . desperately. At least the wait will only be a month away, not a year like most books. What an awesome idea this is! So, bring it on Gabrielle Lord. I am definitely ready to find out what happens next…” – Reading Reviews (February, 2010)
