Description: Praise for A LITE TOO BRIGHT: "What a compelling journey this is--and what an accomplished debut too. Beautifully conceived and executed, it has an irresistible premise; an ingenious plot tinged with mystery; compelling, multidimensional characters; and a haunting ethos that will linger in readers' minds long after they have finished." - ALA Booklist (starred review) "Jumping from clue to clue and train to train across the country, Arthur stumbles upon extraordinary discoveries, from long-lost family members to secret societies. This fresh incarnation of the great American road trip novel is bursting with big ideas, enigmas, poetry, and flashes of humor." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Charmingly written, this debut novel introduces rounded characters and an engaging mystery. Wonderfully mirroring the disjointed feelings and thoughts of young Arthur and those who have dementia, this literary piece has a satisfying conclusion. A highly recommended purchase for fans of literary and realistic fiction centered around family." - School Library Journal (starred review) "Miller's debut novel weaves together several other larger-than-life literary figures and events, including gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, the beat generation, and the Kent State shootings, creating a love letter to social justice and American literature." - Publishers Weekly "Debut author Miller peppers his well-paced chapters with the poetry of ALP the First. This earnest homage to writers, rebels, and the evergreen ideals of youth will appeal to devotees of John Green and Gayle Forman." - The Horn Book "A tense and atmospheric thriller with a truly surprising twist. I can't wait to see what Samuel Miller does next!" - Kara Thomas, award-winning author of The Cheerleaders "Clever, drama-filled, and mind-blowing. My mind is still reeling from the twists and turns, and I loved every second of it." - Sasha Alsberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Eerie, atmospheric, and smart as a whip, Redemption Prep kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page." - Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author of the Charlotte Holmes series "The moody atmosphere, the science/religion dichotomy, and the constant cliff-hangers will keep readers hooked till the shocking finale." - Booklist "Readers looking for a unique take on the isolated-house mystery, with a bizarre setting and a cast of unstable characters, will enjoy losing themselves in this strange yet compelling tale of drugs, power, and the future of the human race." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
