Collins Canada, 2. The Fifth Rule. Reef becomes the centre of controversy while he tries to rebuild his reputation and his relationship with Leeza, the only girl he has ever loved.

Harper. Collins, 2. OLA Best Bet, Young Adult Fiction, 2. Pacing is fast and suspenseful throughout. Reef and Leeza’s frustrated love story and Reef’s justifiable anger at the manipulative politician Decker are the emotional threads that propel readers through the plot.

The climax involves Reef’s going to confront Decker while Leeza races to stop him, and Aker uses short chapters alternating between the characters to keep readers on the edges of their seats. There is no need to have read The First Stone in order to enjoy The Fifth Rule – it stands alone perfectly well- , but anyone who has read the original book will definitely want to read this conclusion to Reef and Leeza’s story.

This book will appeal to older readers looking for suspenseful realistic fiction. The Fifth Rule would make an excellent novel to study in the classroom, both for its composition and for its themes and issues.”– Highly Recommended, Canadian Materials. The Space Between. With his incredible high- wire talent for balancing sensitive subjects with sardonic, teen- friendly humour, Aker delivers another brilliant must- read novel.(Harper. Collins Canada, Fall 2.

White Pine Award,Ontario Library Association “Relayed in first person narrative, Jace reveals himself to be a complex and richly layered character whose attempts to fill in the spaces in his notebook reward him with something more valuable than what he initially expected to find in Mexico- a sense of identity, and resolution. Immensely powerful, and ranging from comical to heartbreaking, the narration is intimate, detailed and profound, leaving readers with their own spaces to interpret and fill in from Jace’s observations.

This astounding and honest book will linger with readers long after they leave its final pages.”– Book News”…a page- turning story that also has sensitivity and genuine characters to whom the reader becomes attached.

Reef, in particular, is introduced as a person no one can like; he’s belligerent, unrepentant, and destructive.
