“Absolutely remarkable. Readers will line up for this one.”—Michael Cart, past president of YALSA and ALAN
“Flawed but observant and courageous, Billy and his taut storytelling will engage readers of all stripes.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Turner does a superlative job of developing the distinct and sonorous voice of a troubled teen. Teen fans of suspense, atypical protagonists, and thrillers will be engaged by this unique novel.”—VOYA
“A compelling, offbeat tale.”—Publishers Weekly
“Harrowing.”—Bulletin
