His books has been lauded in publications such as Library Journal and Booklist and he has received the Alberta Film and Literary Arts Writing Grant twice. Sigmund's coolreading.com Web site helps instill good reading and writing habits in the next generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumblings of Danger, May 22 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ricky is surprised when his grandfather asks him to come a few days earlier then his friends for their vacation in Alberta. Ricky doesn't know why until he arrives. Then, he's asked to become Rocky, juvenile delinquent. Ricky's great aunt owns a mobile home park, but recently there's been trouble. Two young men are harassing the residence, and there's a strange rumbling at night. The two adults are hoping that Ricky will be able to get a little information that will help them solve the problem. But Ricky starts to uncover a problem much bigger then anyone knew about. Will he be able to figure out what's going on?

As with all the Accidental Detectives, this book moves along at a brisk pace. The characters are vivid. In this case, there's enough going on that you don't really miss Lisa, Ralph, and Mike, but they add something major when they do show up. The opening few chapters are hilarious. I thought I remembered the plot of this book from reading it years ago, but I found I'd forgotten lots and was still surprised by the ending.

This is a perfect summer reading book. It's fast and fun and will keep anyone entertained from the first page to the last.
