 Reviewer Holly Newton wrote:

“The Final Farewell, by Patricia Wiles, is the 4th book in a clever and thoughtful series.  In this installment, Kevin is trying to decide about going on a mission or accepting an incredible scholarship.  The story reads with humor and flows with the sense and sensibility to guide youths at a crossroad onto better paths!”

From Andrew Hall’s 2007 Mormon Literature in Review:

“Covenant also published some excellent middle-grade and young adult fiction. The most impressive is Patricia Wiles’ four-part Kevin Kirk Chronicles, a humorous but also emotionally true story of a boy’s conversion, and the experiences and tragedies that accompany him on his way to young adulthood. The first two books of the series were awarded consecutive AML prizes in 2004 and 2005. The final two volumes kept up that level of excellence. Jeff Needle wrote, ‘There’s lots to smile about here. But there’s also a lot of sadness in this book. Once again, the author is not afraid to confront life head-on. . . Tragedy does come, and as it enters Kevin’s life, we see the Lord working through those tragedies as he works through them to an ultimate triumph.’”
