Down with the Shine - Couverture rigide

“Vividly imagined and hard to put down. You’ll think twice about what you wish for.” (Mindy McGinnis, author of Not a Drop to Drink)

“Sharp, funny, and amiable, Lennie’s narration feels a lot like a modern-day Scout’s. Contemporary fiction with a touch of magic and a hint of horror, Quinn’s latest defies traditional labels and offers readers a different sort of fictitious escape.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Successfully blends thriller and fantasy elements for a high-stakes, careful-what-you-wish-for story. A unique, often clever take on family legacies and high school desires with wide appeal.” (ALA Booklist)

“A darkly intelligent novel for readers who prefer flawed heroines and ambiguous endings that aren’t tied up in a pretty little ‘they all lived happily ever after’ bow.” (School Library Journal)

“Quinn’s previous titles have involved dark, labyrinthine plots, but here she moves into black humor, doing so with revelry and aplomb.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“A distinctive, supernatural read.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Quinn’s newest mystery is a complicated thriller with lots of twists, turns, and a large dose of fantasy.” (ALA Booklist)

“Fans of Nova Ren Suma’s Imaginary Girls (Dutton, 2011) will enjoy this dark and magical surrealism.” (School Library Journal)

“Quinn blends eloquent prose and startling imagery to create a truly creepy small town. Will find an audience among fans of Brenna Yovanoff (The Replacement) and Dia Reeves (Bleeding Violet).” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
