PRESS Articles About the Book

Readers Write about Hobbomock

I just picked up this book up for my son after reading the article in the New Haven register. My son loved it! He was so excited about it that he wants his teacher to read it in class tomorrow. From a parent of a second grade boy who I'm trying to encourage to read more, I just wanted to say thank you and Jesse Bonelli for working on this book. My son has always asked questions about Sleeping Giant as we live in New haven and see it frequently. Now he knows the legend. Again, thank you as you have hopefully sparked an interest in reading for a young mind. - Chris Fiore, East Haven, CT

Just wanted you to know how much my grandchildren enjoyed your book. I like reading to them and even the five year old was very attentive. Robbie, the eight year old, took the book into class since they were studying Indians. Good timing. Please tell your illustrator that [he] did a great job, too. - Michelle Winsch, Madison, CT

My ten year old son Miles took the [Hobbomock] book to school yesterday and he said his teacher read it to the class and the kids applauded when she finished! He then said "It's a really good book, dad." He said he can't wait to read THE GROWING SWEATER. - Paul Stewart, Brighton, MA

Let me first share with you that Jesse Bonelli is one of my former science students. He was in my 7th grade science class in Old Lyme.....I remember his sketches back then, amazing for a 12 year old. I think it was a comic strip depiction of some type of food traveling through the digestive system....awesome!!! I am THRILLED to see that he has illustrated your new book, the Legend of Hobbomock and cannot wait to get my hands on a copy. I would love a copy for myself, personalized to my four year old son, Geffen. We hike A LOT. Secondly, I'd love another copy for my father, Bill Harris. He has worked in Hamden all his life and just hit 65 years old. EVERY DAY he hikes this mountain on his lunch break. He walks to the top to be where he is most happy, in nature. He is also an avid spearfisherman and cyclist. Pretty amazing for sixty five!!! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if you could write a special note to him, in his own copy of your book. He knows that mountain like he knows the freckles on his arm. It would be such a special gift for Christmas. - Courtney Harris, East Haven, CT

My sons received a gift from their grandmother this Christmas that they really enjoyed. I didn’t see the gift at first and then noticed they had stopped opening presents so my wife could read them The Legend of Hobbomock (they are 4 and 7). My mother had apparently been at the book signing, met you and purchased 2 copies. One for her and one for the boys. They really enjoyed it. So thank you and great job! - Michael J Ellesio, Bridgeport, CT

[The Legend of Hobbomock] book is magnificent...It is a GEM! - Joan & Henry Garbar, Gouldsboro, ME. [Joan is a former Catholic nun, Mother Superior, and retired public school English teacher.]
