Yaakov the Pirate Hunter
FIVE STARS! "I read Yaakov the Pirate Hunter with my kids and it was a remarkable experience. Each night my kids waited for me at bedtime to find out what new and exciting storylines would be revealed on that night. When the story ended my children were happy with the ending but sad that the book had ended. They wondered out loud "do you think that there will be a second book to the series?" I told them that I hoped there would be and we are all eagerly awaiting the second installment of this fantastic series." -Amazon Customer
FIVE STARS! "I think that Yaakov the Pirate Hunter is a great book! I especially like the parts with the robots. I also like that it was set in L.A. (as opposed to New York). It was also good because it had an element of history to it. Plus, Yaakov would be a fun person to be. I can't wait until there are more books about Yaakov and his family!" - Bibliophilic
FIVE STARS! "[Yaakov] the Pirate Hunter is a really fun and exciting futuristic book with a unique twist: the story features Yaacov Peretz (11) and his whole family, who are observant Jews and their team of highly trained (I mean programmed) robots! The story is very well-written. Kids will enjoy reading this book...especially those who love high-tech adventure!" - S.M.
FIVE STARS! "Great story for religious kids. Thanks you for writing this. Keep up the good work." - J.G.
FIVE STARS! "Nathaniel is a creative writer with a vivid imagination. Not only does he create vivid worlds you're excited to explore, but he does it in a way that children can grasp and understand the magnitude of the novel concepts and story lines he weaves." - Paul G.
FIVE STARS! "I love the mix of the old and the new. Ordinary people, like us, are living in a modern, futuristic world. Mr Wyckoff blends the two very well. The story, itself, moves along at a cracking pace and will be easy to read for any middle grade reader. It is a marvellous story that all children will find entertaining and enjoyable." - Susan D., author of Astro's Adventures

FIVE STARS! "We read it aloud with my six year old son, and he loved it! We couldn't put the book down. Engaging plot, fun adventure. We loved how the story is set in the future, with all the technological advances. (And I'm looking forward to the time when I can buy one of those robots!) My son really liked the pirates' names." - Yehudis L.
FIVE STARS! "I loved this book! It contains such high adventure, suspense and humor. I look forward to the next book!" - Brenda G.

Yaakov and the Treasures of Timna Valley
FIVE STARS! "This is a great series. As soon as we got this book in the mail we put aside the library books we were in the middle of and read it right away. Yaakov is a great character with great (character traits) for kids to learn from. I recommend this book." - J. G.
FIVE STARS! "This fast paced middle grade read is perfect for boys seeking an adventure. Author Nathaniel Wycoff has family in mind as he creates stories that are perfect for a read-a-aloud in a school or family reading hour. The characters are engaging and the treasure hunt and clues are exciting. This is a great way to open up a discussion about Jewish culture, history and artifacts. If you have a boy who won’t pick up a book, this is your ticket to getting him reading and loving it." - Kristi B.
FIVE STARS! "Read (the) book with my son. Could not put it down, both me and him. Full of adventures, well written. Can't wait for more!" - Yehudis L.
