Description: "Rosenfield's paragraphs are so suffused with the pull of the tide that it becomes a full-body throb, drawing Callie down, down, down to exactly where you think she's heading: the deep. The delicious confusion between fantasy and madness finds perfect expression in Rosenfield's hypnotic prose and upside-down chapter construction." - Booklist , starred review "At its best in the sensory details that create its vaguely sinister atmosphere."- Kirkus Reviews "This often eerie novel that toes the line of fantasy is a delight. Readers won't be sure just what it is that has consumed Callie-her own madness, or perhaps, something altogether inhuman-but they'll keep turning pages in hopes of finding out. For fans of E. Lockhart's We Were Liars."- School Library Journal Accolades for Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone : Edgar Award Finalist for Best Young Adult Mystery A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection PW Best New Book for the Week "Lush, mysterious, utterly compelling."-Ellen Hopkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Crank trilogy "Becca's first-person narration is occasionally interspersed with third-person flashbacks of Amelia's last days, and while her end is never in doubt, watching the events that lead up to it will mesmerize readers. . . .
