Yolen and Coville, writing in alternating chapters..., explore their rich, thought provoking theme with the perfect balance of gripping adventure and understated pathos, leavened by a dollop of humor.--Booklist

Convincing and compelling."--School Library Journal

Providing action, romance and a provocative message, this novel could well get teens talking.--Publishers Weekly

In this page-turner...the authors pull off the remarkable feat of making the sacred tangible, of delineating what it means to believe.--Kirkus Reviews
