Reviews

* This absorbing page-turner [avoids] the clichéd extremes of much recent young adult science fiction...Terra herself is equal parts strength and vulnerability, neither preternaturally heroic nor innately naïve. Genuinely surprising revelations near the end and a lack of resolution suggest probable sequels to this first-rate science fiction novel, a worthy successor for Revis' Across the Universe.-- "BCCB, starred review"

* This richly textured first novel deserves to be widely read.-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review"

Starglass is a richly imagined, beautifully written book. It's science fiction, mystery, and coming of age story all wrapped into one; creative but also firmly grounded in a real human experience, with all its loss, pain, and disillusionment--but also beauty, hope, and belonging. A wonderful story.--Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent

"If you're looking for a mystery, sci-fi thriller, and coming-of-age novel, this is it. Here is a Jewish Brave New World that keeps the reader glued to the page."-- "Association of Jewish Libraries"

"Starglass is a poignantly written, gripping tale. I just loved it. I really enjoyed the political intrigue, the depth of the characters, the suspense, and the twists and turns, all with the backdrop of space and interstellar travel, which I love. It all felt so original. I can't wait for the sequel."--James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner series

"Immersive and compelling, Starglass is sci-fi with both brains and heart. Terra's search for belonging and authentic human connection is one to savor."--Lenore Appelhans, author of The Memory of After

"Murder, rebellion, and spaceships done right: Phoebe North's Starglass gave me the best kind of chills. I can't wait to see what the sequel has in store."--Jodi Meadows, author of Incarnate
