"David Anthony Durham never disappoints. I can't wait to read
whatever he writes next." -- George R.R. Martin "Wildly imaginative
and thoroughly thrilling, The Shadow Prince is a Hunger Games for a
big, strange, magical new world." -- Lev Grossman, author of The
Magicians Trilogy "Durham is a master of the fantasy epic." -- The
Washington Post "Durham's story is rich in detail and
imagination... A rousing romp that shows kindness as a strength and
power as a chance to improve our world." -- Booklist "Durham offers
up an action-packed, magic-filled adventure made all the more fun
by its evocative world building... Ash's narrative voice is
distinctly contemporary, full of endearing snark and
self-deprecating wit, and readers will appreciate both his happy
ending and the unresolved mysteries that leave the door open for
sequels." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A
fantastical, solar-powered Egypt complete with solar chariots and
kiteboards is original... Solid and earnest." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Inventive... Well-rounded characters infuses the narrative with
warmth. Bolstered by an accessible voice, Durham's middle grade
debut weaves the power of renewable energy into a rollicking tale
of gods and monsters." -- Publishers Weekly "Durham's middle grade
debut is full of action, political intrigue, inventive solar
powered gadgets, and quirky creatures. Ash is a sympathetic
character who discovers his own self-worth and a surprising talent
while competing in the grueling competition. An exciting, magical
series opener perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Kwame Mbalia's
Tristan Strong, and Jonathan Stroud's 'Bartimaeus' series." --
