Rezensionen

The literary sleeper hit of the summer...Part-mystery, part-coming-of-age story with elements of Lord Of The Flies and The Lovely Bones, it's becoming one of those word-of-mouth titles that will suddenly be everywhere...It's brave and unusual and warm and funny and heartening and heartbreaking.
