'Wheatley's book has urgency and a fierce strength...The characters from both eras are ""alive and flying"", freedom fighters who are aware that they are making history.' -- Maurice Saxby * The Proof of the Puddin' * 'An exceptional book...The House that was Eureka will establish itself as a classic in adolescent fiction.' * Newcastle Herald * 'A fine piece of work, well researched and beautifully plotted around the Depression when people were tipped out of their houses by landlords and unemployed men took to the roads with swags.' * Sydney Morning Herald * 'An absorbing and wholly convincing recreation of the Depression of the 1930s, with the traumatic experiences of the Cruise family, destitute and threatened with eviction, running parallel to the problems of today.' * Australian Book Review * ‘Wheatley weaves in the forgotten true story of a labour riot in the 1930s, including the marginalised experience of women, and shows the similarities and differences of unemployment and its consequences in the past and present. It suits as a text for English and history.’ * AEU Magazine *
