National Bestseller
Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. But the school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. The children soon suspect that they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment, and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter Høeg's "brilliant" and dystopian Borderliners is a "uniquely philosophical thriller" (Boston Sunday Globe) and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope.

Review:
Book Description:
"Brilliant . . . [a] uniquely philosophical thriller." --The Boston Sunday Globe
"A brilliant novel of shattering force." --Entertainment Weekly
"Gripping and disturbing . . . Høeg's evocation of the way a child perceives the world is alarmingly vivid." --USA Today
"The Catcher in the Rye meets A Brief History of Time. . . . Brilliantly tormenting and philosophically haunting." --Glamour
"An honest novel that once again demonstrates Høeg's talent and integrity." --The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
"A beautiful and satisfying book, reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange or Lord of the Flies." --Orlando Sentinel
"Powerful . . . well-crafted suspense . . . Just as with Smilla's Sense of Snow, one question hangs in the air when the last page is turned: When do we get his next book?" --Newsweek
A mesmerizing tale of youth blighted by a surreal form of institutionalized abuse.
