"A fun ride, full of adventure, suspense, and good
characterization." - School Library Journal
"Concrete yet dreamlike." - The Horn Book
"Choldenko's pacing is sure and her use of airport argot (white
courtesy phones, a missing black box) adds an inventive element to
this story of unlikely survival." - Publishers Weekly
"Constant shifts in perspective create suspense and contribute to
the novel's eerie, dreamlike quality. The humdinger of an ending
helps explain this off-kilter world while leaving much to ponder."
- The Washington Post
"Fascinating." - Kirkus Reviews "The distinct voices of India,
Finn, and Mouse, joint narrators, ring loud and clear with the
complications of sibling rivalry . . . . Choldenko infuses each
with a unique tenderness and humor." - Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books
"A fast-paced mindbender." - Booklist
