TEN FINGERS TOUCHING was named the “Travel Size Good Read of the Month.”
“I really hope Ellen writes a sequel to this tale… It’s an absolutely beautifully written story of love, tragedy, and heroism with a dash of adventure. From magic to sea monsters and everything between, this is a true fairy tale.”

“If you’re a fan of ABC’s Once Upon a Time or the recent movie Into the Woods, you’re sure to find yourself swept up in this fresh new fairy tale…After I finished the story, I went back through the book a second time just to take in the beauty of the illustrations.”

“If you are looking for a read that will breathe new vigor and freshness into the vastly exploited formula of the romantic fantasy, you’ll find TEN FINGERS TOUCHING by Ellen A. Roth a remarkable compendium of all the hallmarks of the fairytale genre…The vibrant illustrations are one of the most striking features of the book, along with the endearing quality of the leading characters.”

“This is a great book for anyone who likes fantasy books…I liked the “love story” between the two main characters. Also the interesting story line that occurred between Good vs. Evil. There are also a few fun twists in the plot. And some I was surprised at even up til the end.”

“I was fully absorbed in this story, the rest of the world falling away while I lost myself in its pages. Roth’s elegant prose meld perfectly with the eloquently told tale. The characters are loveable. They’re also believable and ideally suited to their roles in the story. This novel transcends all ages and will easily stand the test of time.

This book itself is beautifully put together. The layout reminds me of an illuminated manuscript, adding another layer of enchantment to the tale and giving the feeling of being drawn back in time…

This really is a visually and intellectually appealing work of art. The breathtaking illustrations combine with the intriguing plot to create a quick, unforgettable read for the audience. It will be loved by women of all ages. It’s the type of story that a mother and daughter can enjoy together, that a young woman will devour on her own, and that a grandmother can lose herself in.”
