Reviews

Engrossing and dramatic. Kirkus Reviews Each relationship and character is treated with sensitivity, intelligence, and respect, and their emotional journeys will invite urgent investment from teen readers. Numerous cultural references place the story in its era, and the artwashed in a screen-lit blue gloweerily imbues a sense of time and place. A worthy and satisfying conclusion to volume one.
