Reviews

""A thought-provoking tale strongly reminiscent of Lowis Lowry's The Giver."" - School Library Journal ""Stahler's sightless community is both compelling and believable."" - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books ""The nonstop action leaves eager readers waiting for the final installment."" - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for Truesight: ""Stahler's powerful debut novel is two parts science-fiction thriller and one part cautionary fable. Supple writing and unusual twists should keep readers firmly hooked."" - Publishers Weekly
