Kirkus Reviews describer book the Humming Room as, "The characters and events are nearly exact counterparts to those found in the classic The Secret Garden. An homage to a cherished classic that can work as a companion piece or stand alone as a solid, modern tale for young readers in the 21st century."[2]
