“Fonda is a strongly visual and conversational writer who has created a very believable setting for this work. … My final impression of Murder on the Orford Mountain Raiway is that it is an entertaining read and also that it might make an engaging Young Adult semi-novel-mystery-love story for older high school students, especially with its local flavour of last century small town Quebec.” Sandra Stock,Quebec Heritage News &#147 The details are so precise, so well turned, that one cannot help but imagine it?s all real. And a lot of it is ? So along with a great fictionalized murder mystery, the reader is privy to a fantastic history lesson about the railway system in our very own Eastern Townships. &#148 Sharon Morrissey, Montreal Review of Books

&#147(Fonda’s) poet?s ear brings a delicate lightness to his work that contrasts wonderfully with the dark subject matter?&#148 Forward Reviews’ review of Fonda’s Principals and other Schoolyard Bullies.

&#147 Fonda?s characters are well-drawn, coming to life on the page with intelligence and imagination. &#148 ?Zoe Whittall
