"A beautiful book in so many ways, The Coal Thief will leave an impression on many hearts for a long time to come." --Foreword Reviews "The dialogue between the characters feels natural to the time and place, and the text size and amount, as well as its approachable vocabulary, makes this a good choice for confident early-elementary readers . . . Gallegos' art is compelling . . . Overall, Georgie is an appealing protagonist, and his adventure may encourage early elementary school readers to read more about why communities like Georgie's struggled during the 1930s. A beautifully illustrated, realistic slice of history with a likable, repentant thief as its hero." --Kirkus Reviews
