Review:
* "Psychologically gripping . . . Teems with characters that possess the same kind of edgy, dangerous magic as Francesca Lia Block's creations, and, like Block, Koja explores the confusion between infatuation and real love in all its cruelty and its redemptive powers." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A richly embroidered tale of abuse and control highlighted with shiny threads of magic and redemption." Kirkus Reviews
"Mags is a plucky protagonist, and readers will appreciate the ingenuity she musters to address her problems. Fans of Carol Plum-Ucci's What Happened to Lani Garverand outsider themes will appreciate the gritty urban scenes and rhythmic language that give the book an almost surreal ambience" School Library Journal
"This interesting story of a teen on her journey to adulthood provides a taste of reality and illuminates the complex rather than simple choices that face teens daily." Children's Literature
"Koja writes with great artistry her words sometimes work as brushes creating paintings; her prose is close to poetry . . . This is a brief and powerful story." KLIATT"
