Description: This novel will just blow you away...Such a beautiful read...this certainly has the potential to become a modern classic. -The Bookseller (U.K.) Startlingly original, sophisticated and moving, MAGGOT MOON is out of this world. -The Sunday Times (U.K) Dazzling, chilling, breathtaking. A perfect book. -Meg Rosoff Gardner does a masterful job of portraying Standish's dyslexia through the linguistic swerves of his narration, and although the ending is pure heartbreak, she leaves readers with a hopeful message about the power of one boy to stand up to evil -Publishers Weekly (starred review) This is alt-history second; first, it is an eerie, commanding drama. -Booklist (starred review) Standish's tale has the terse, energetic tension of poetry; his phrases and sentences roll out with irony, tenderness, horror, or love, but always vividly...Most appealing of all, however, is Standish Treadwell himself: tender, incisive, brave, and determined, he takes a stand and treads well. -The Horn Book (starred review) Sally Gardner tells a story that is rich in drama and ideas. -LoveReading4Kids.co.uk
