Review Unputdownable, unmissable. Classic Card character depth that goes to the center of the earth, and secrets that slowly unfold until the breathtaking, heart-lurching ending. --Mette Ivie Harrison, author of New York Times Notable Book The Bishops Wife and Vampires in the TempleWhen you read a few hundred novels a year, you learn to tell from page one whos got the storyteller gene. Or at least the story-crafter skill. Orson Scott Card has both, and here in his latest novel he lets em roll...On the surface, its a young adult coming-of-age mystery with powerful plot compulsion that makes it entertaining reading. Underneath, theres a lot of important moral and character-crisis material that leaves a sense of wow and but of course. Emotionally gratifying whether youre fourteen or forty or seventy-four. --New York Journal of BooksWhen you read a few hundred novels a year, you learn to tell from page one whos got the storyteller gene.
