Review:

"Recalling outsider films like Donnie Darko or Gregg Araki's Teenage Apocalypse trilogy, this proudly surreal piece of metafiction could develop a cult following"--"Publishers Weekly" "This first novel has all the look of a cult fave: baffling to many, an anthem for a few, and unlike anything else out there."--"Booklist", starred review " It is also, however, a brilliantly developed and impeccably presented story that will engage readers immediately and keep them intrigued through to the last twists."-- "The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
