Words like 'brilliant' are so overused when praising novels--so I won't use that word. I'll just think it. -- Benjamin Alire S enz, author of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Undeniably human and unforgettably wise, this book is a gift for us all. -- Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle
