Review:
"A harrowing read.... Michaels (Nobel Genes, 2010) is strong on style--lean and brutally evocative--and Leia herself is utterly convincing." --Kirkus Reviews, October 15, 2011
"Fix Me is a mind-boggling tale about family abuse and the hardship of coming to terms with being chronically hurt by the people you love. It is sure to have readers on their toes, pondering various twists and turns." --VOYA, December 2011
"Icelandic author Michaels has created a stark, disturbing world of human violence and psychological abuse, which is juxtaposed against the peaceful caged animals.... Such juxtaposition can only lead readers to ask questions such as, who are the real animals? Which is the real zoo? A harrowing, thought-provoking look at brutality and the nature of humanity." --Booklist, December 15, 2011
"This interesting story delves into psychological issues of seeking one's own identity, searching for sense of self, and many other issues that young teens often face. The zoo setting provides an unique background." --Library Media Connection, March/April 2012, Recommended
