Description: "Nick Lake has done a wonderful job with There Will Be Lies . He has written a twisting plot that will leave you emotionally stunned. I was surprised at every chapter. If you were to compare this novel to anything, I'd say it's like a combination of Dead to You by Lisa McMann and Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King." -Brandi Stewart, Children's Book Buyer at Changing Hands Bookstore "This book had me captivated. I was into the story by page 50, and couldn't put it down until I had all the words inside me. Shelby made me love her. I cried at the end of the book like a little girl. I'm not ashamed to admit that. All in all, this book was an amazing little find at the Bloomsbury booth. 4.5/5 stars" -The Forever Soap Opera of My Life blog "The realistic story . . . is a rare joy to behold . . . Another impressive stylistic swerve from Printz-winner Lake."- Booklist "Suspenseful, complicated . . . A fine exploration of the power of story itself to heal the unconscious from scars physical and emotional." - Kirkus Reviews "[Lake] deftly paints the surreal and symbolic clash of worlds as Amy's family and their Somali hijackers settle in for what becomes several weeks of ransom negotiations and maneuverings by the British Navy. . . Lake's novel is a skillfully paced thriller that ends in heart-pounding tragedy, but the real achievement is the offshore glimpse it provides of a misunderstood, war-ravaged country." - The New York Times on Hostage Three "Intelligent, empathetic, and eye-opening." - Booklist , starred review,on Hostage Three "Vivid and poignant . . . The narrative twist is brilliant, taking readers on an emotional ride to the very last page. " - School Library Journal , starred review,on Hostage Three "Perceptive and harrowing. . . .
