"This frightening and mysterious book surprised me again and again.
Unsworth has created a world where nothing is as it seems and
horrors lurk around every corner. When you read it, you will
quickly discover one terrifying fact--there IS no safe place!" --R.
L. Stine
"Tania Unsworth has written a lightning-fast and spine-chilling
novel . . . Readers will root for Devin with white knuckles and
pounding hearts." --Michael Grant, New York Times best selling
author of Gone, BZRK, and The Magnificent 12
"[A] chilling and engrossing tale filled with detailed, sharply
drawn characters . . . A standout." --Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
"[A] marvelous dystopian thriller . . . The novel is beautifully
paced, the setting vivid, the plot disturbing, the finale
thrilling." --The Buffalo News
"Reminiscent of Clive Barker's The Thief of Always . . . Fast-paced
and gripping. An original dystopian story for middle-grade
readers." --School Library Journal
"Unsworth unravels the story with skilled deliberation, creating a
page-turning mix of suspense, intrigue, and anxiety. The kids are
genuine and quirky, just the right kind of mismatched misfits to
snag readers' hearts. This is a wholly enjoyable journey, and a
dystopian vision with some great new twists." --Publishers
Weekly
"This book has echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and in many
ways, although clearly aimed at the teenage market, is as
compelling as an adult read. Written in a simple, almost
matter-of-fact style which fits the subject matter very well and
with a satisfying ending, it's a very believable story and an
excellent debut for Tania Unsworth." --We Love This Book
