Anmeldelser
«Dazzling, chilling, breathtaking. A perfect book.»
Meg Rosoff, award-winning author of HOW I LIVE NOW
«The outstanding teenage novel of the autumn, arresting and original and written in a singular voice...»
Lorna Bradbury, The Telegraph
«startlingly original, horribly gripping ... an inspirational [story] which deserves many prizes.»
Amanda Craig, The Times
«This novel is a celebration of the refusal of the human spirit to be crushed and in Standish, Gardner has created a hero to be cherished.»
Sally Morris, Daily Mail
«... a unique and compelling read»
The Bookseller (Children's Booksellers' Choice: September)
«Maggot Moon is a fast-paced, tough and heartbreaking story. I loved it»
We Love This Book
«... Maggot Moon is an unusual, deeply moving and thought-provoking story, which has clear potential to become a modern classic»
Booktrust's 'September book we like'
«Fans of the dystopia genre and conspiracy theorists alike will be flipping the pages of this gem. The story moves at a gripping pace with clever use of language, providing vivid characterization ad setting, while the unexpected twists in the plot will leave readers stunned»
Recommended Reads, Children’s Books Ireland
«[Standish's] use of language because of (not despite of) his dyslexia is idiosyncratic poetry, full of fizzing wordplay and deadpan humour. Gardner's novels have always been thought-provoking but she flexes her writing muscles here and Standish is an utterly unique creation, impossible not to love.»
The Scotsman
«Quite simply, it is a book you have to read.»
Bookbag
«... a remarkable novel»
Books for Keeps
«This novel will just blow you away»
Emma Louise Pennell, Waterstones Chichester
