Table of ContentsReviews'A gorgeous story--timeless and magical.' -- Rebecca Stead, Newbery winner for When You Reach Me 'A wonderfully imaginative, startlingly moving and at times wickedly funny fantasy. With nods to Dahl, Dickens, the Grimms and even Burnett, the author has made something truly original. An irresistible read: this book sings.' -- Kirkus 'Invigorating and hopeful, this novel testifies to the power of friendship and generosity to conquer greed and depression.' -- Publishers Weekly 'This original fairy tale, told by a wise and humorous omniscient narrator and peopled with broadly drawn but instantly recognizable characters, avoids sentimentality to show the magic of accepting loss without letting go and finding joy in the lives left behind.' -- Booklist 'An absolute delight ... The story is packed with mystery, murder, adventure, humour and magic, but above all it is a beautiful evocation of loss, tempered by the gradual blossoming of friendship, trust and hope. Although aimed at younger readers, the lightness of touch and the tenderness of the message could make grown men weep.' -- Daily Mail 'A gorgeous story--timeless and magical.' -- Rebecca Stead, Newbery winner for When You Reach Me 'A wonderfully imaginative, startlingly moving and at times wickedly funny fantasy.

She followed that up with DELIRIUM and then PANDEMONIUM - the first two books in her compellingly addictive trilogy. The eagerly anticipated final book in the Delirium trilogy, REQUIEM, will publish in Spring 2013. She is also the author of two novels for young readers, LIESL & PO and THE SPINDLERS, delightful, scary and magical novels that are certain to become modern classics of children's writing. A graduate of the University of Chicago and NYU's MFA program, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.
