Animal rights author Jeffrey Masson called Deva and the Soul Snatcher "an absolutely fascinating read that was informative and totally engrossing," This fantasy for young adults has also been called "An Inconvenient Truth meets Harry Potter meets High School Musical. It is a mix of magic and realism, in which one boy changes the world by changing himself with the help of a girl from another dimension. With an inspiring music video on YouTube, the two fight back against a malevolent spirit in the form of a spreading, polluting cloud that threatens all life on earth. The hero, Matt, is a lonely, brilliant sixteen-year-old who learns to connect with his father, nature, and his classmates. He is taught by Deva, a magical girl and her Irish wolfhound that life is more than a head-trip and that compassionate action can make the world safe for all forms of life.
