Editorial Reviews

“Captures the intense yearnings of young adulthood; the ridiculous spectrum of clueless, controlling, and (sometimes) cooperative adults; and the overwhelming inertia of institutions.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“In a timely novel featuring a large cast from around the globe, Alsaid underlines ecological issues while showing the positive impact of creative problem solving and collaboration.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
