Editorial Review | Lowry's Australian lingo, lyrical descriptions, likeable characters, and creative format are sure to be an instant hit with teens. "Kirkus" This Australian import has a delightful tranquility that persists all the way to a realistic, satisfying ending. An unassuming, charming book. "Booklist" Lowry describes Australian land- and seascape in colorful detail. Her prose is crisply observant in some places, stream-of-consciousness in others, and full of British/Aussie humor and one-liners. This is a romantic, entertaining, and thoughtful novel. "School Library Journal" [An] artfully constructed novel readers will likely be captivated by Lowry's playful narrative style, and they will easily empathize with most of the characters, from the free-spirited protagonists to the parents who worry over them. "Publishers Weekly" A quirky kaleidoscope of skilled writing [a] special book. "Voya"" |
