Dazzling, chilling, breathtaking. A perfect book.
--Meg Rosoff

Gardner does a masterful job of portraying Standish's dyslexia through the linguistic swerves of his narration, and although the ending is pure heartbreak, she leaves readers with a hopeful message about the power of one boy to stand up to evil
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

This is alt-history second; first, it is an eerie, commanding drama.
