Review
“Perplexing and disorienting, full of the rich language and heady epiphanies readers have come to expect from the Printz-award winning author.” ―starred review, School Library Journal
“Impressively unpredictable--a motley mix of taut thriller, transportive fantasy, and poignant coming-of-age . . . Shelby narrates the surreal implosion of her life in an indignant, funny voice, ā la Judy Blume.” ―Entertainment Weekly
“A rare joy to behold . . . Another impressive stylistic swerve from Printz-winner Lake.” ―Booklist
“Suspenseful, complicated . . . A fine exploration of the power of story itself to heal the unconscious from scars physical and emotional.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Lake returns to the mix of reality and fantasy he used to great success in his Printz-winning In Darkness . . . Shelby is highly sympathetic, and readers will stick with her as she figures out who she can trust.” ―Publishers Weekly
“A twisty drama suffused with elements of folklore.” ―Wall Street Journal
“Lake is truly a masterful storyteller . . . . This is a strange and beautiful story that truly deserves to be read. Do not hesitate to add this to your collection.” ―VOYA
“This hallucinatory, kaleidoscopic mix of plot, characters, and setting is eminently discussable for its nuanced themes . . . . Lake continues to practice his craft at a high level.” ―The Horn Book
“Unlike anything else currently in the YA market . . . Readers will be rewarded with a beautiful ending highlighting the importance of family, independence, and finding one's own way.” ―Library Media Connection
“Lake employs a powerful combination of realism and myth to craft a resonant story of survival.” ―BCCB
“Intelligent, empathetic, and eye-opening.” ―starred review, Booklist on HOSTAGE THREE
“Perceptive and harrowing.” ―starred review, Publishers Weekly on HOSTAGE THREE
“A dark journey well worth taking--engrossing, disturbing, illuminating.” ―starred review, Kirkus Reviews on IN DARKNESS
“A startling but successful feat of literary imagination.” ―starred review, Publishers Weekly on IN DARKNESS
