Here's what reviewers had to say...
"The rag-tag cast of characters, budding friendships, mystery and wonderful writing pulled me along to the end. R.J. Garcia writes realistic characters in all of their flawed glory, and you’ll become invested in what happens. The imagery and first person writing and flow of the story create an immersive experience." - Writer Reader Cautious Adventurer

"Mystery with twists and turns, sending the intriguing characters on a wild up-and-down ride." - Kay Lalone - I Love Books
"The writing style of RJ Garcia is natural and totally credible as the voice of teenagers in crisis as well as moments of joy. I would highly recommend this book, not only to middle school students, but to anyone who has the fortune to have teenagers in their lives." - Maude’s Web
"Between the normal teenage turmoil, the dysfunctional families, and the town secrets, Nocturnal Meetings of the Misplaced was difficult to put down. When a book makes you laugh, makes you cry, and has a good ending, what more could you ask for? I definitely recommend Nocturnal Meetings of the Misplaced." - Bound 4 Escape
