"Smart and mesmerising"
*New York Times*
"A gently philosophical take on how the future can affect the
present."
*Independent on Sunday Books of the Year*
"Witty, touching and clever."
*Daily Mail*
"Beautifully and simply told despite the fact that the story they
tell is complex and thought-provoking. This is a great book."
*LoveReading4Kids*
"This is one of the most impressive children's books I've read in a
long time. The writing (is) delicate yet robust, full of insight,
compassion and wisdom. Stead manages to describe complex emotions
in a fresh and original manner."
*Irish Independent*
"One of my favourite US children's books of recent years"
*Daniel Hahn, Independent on Sunday*
"A rather special find"
*Telegraph*
"A satisfying read that should remain popular as long as the
classic A Wrinkle In Time to which it pays homage."
*Carousel*
