Gripping. The dialogue and characters feel really authentic. The content is relevant and important.

I could not book this book down. It is filled with magic and friendship and family and really evil characters who have no regard for others. Lots of surprises too.

Teachers have been raving about this book. Burgess writes with such passion, he can't help but reignite your own passion for teaching and learning.

Written in verse-Garvey and his dad have very different visions of what Garvey should be doing with his life.

This story alternates among three time periods. Your heart will break for the families when you read about the challeges they face while fleeing to safety.

This story is something very special. Crow, much like Annabelle in Wolf Hollow, is a character with a strong moral conscience who you can't help but fall in love with. The setting is so clearly and beautifully portrayed that the reader can smell the salt water and hear the wind and surf.

This book is very savvy and funny. I  don't know if all readers will get the humor and references, but I am loving it. Reminds me of The Canterbury Tales-each chapter is a tale told by a different character.

It's hard to believe an adult has written this book b/c the voices are so authentic. Gephart has so beautifully  captured the essence of adolescence. She also deals with serious issues in such a compassionate way that the reader can't help but become emotionally involved.

So far-the one most important book! Could NOT put it down-plot reminded me of Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life. Arthur reminds me of Moose from the Al Capone series-a boy with a strong moral conscience.

Three words: AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING
Serafina is a character who will grab your heart. The book is a bit creepy too. The ending completely surprised me; it went it a direction I did not expect.

Such strong writing. I am left with such a strong sense of place.I also feel I personally know Turner and Lizzie. Malaga Island was something I knew nothing about. The story evokes a wide range of emotions for the reader, but then again, it IS Gary D. Schmidt.

Loved this-not sure it's the fit I want for middle school, but a beautiful story that I think kids will love and one I am sure will generate a lot of thinking.

I love Beers, but not loving this book, still waiting for my thinking to be disrupted. I promise to keep an open mind and keep reading.

Generated lots of  great edtech conversations about digital citizenship, the role of technology in education, and gave concrete ways to use tech tools to amplify teaching and learning.

Loved this! Best new ideas about reading since Mosaics of Thoughts. Turned a bit of what we do upside down. Read it to rethink reading instruction. Must read for teachers of literacy.
