Reception

A starred review in Booklist called it a "dyed-in-the-wool middle book [in a trilogy]", and said that "its chief achievement is to foment excitement for the finale",[1] while Kirkus Reviews described it as "a series of elongated plot twists that need to move [the] lead character from one place to the next".[2]

School Library Journal lauded its "engaging" prose, its "realistic, mature language" and its "cliff-hanger ending",[3] while Horn Book Guides noted its "sheer weirdness" that "will captivate readers",[4] and Voice of Youth Advocates praised it as "a superb telling of what it means to be different".[5]
