Critics Review
★ “A true triumph of the genre, with gripping pacing, authentic characters, and a balance of coming-of-age and survival. Older middle grade readers will be riveted by this heartfelt thriller.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“Classey effectively captures how the world feels like it’s ending during adolescence against a backdrop of a world that may actually be ending. Fans of Megan Freeman’s Alone will find much to enjoy. An intense and riveting read.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Many aspects of this novel in verse will resonate with readers, especially tweens, as it never loses sight of the concerns or capabilities of the young people at its center. A survival story that lets science and compassion shine.” —Booklist
“This is a worthy addition to apocalyptic fiction for the middle grade set, and readers will likely be deeply invested in Anna-Jane’s story.” —The Bulletin
“Beware, this is not your average summer camp tale.” —Leslie Connor, author of The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle, National Book Award finalist
“This one had me on the edge of my seat! I read it in one sitting.” —Andrea Beatriz Arango, Newbery Honor winner for Iveliz Explains It All
“A gripping, un-put-down-able novel. One word of advice, though: you might want to read it with the lights on.” —Tommy Greenwald, author of Game Changer and the Charlie Joe Jackson series
“Don’t let the classic summer camp vibe fool you; Anna-Jane and the Endless Summer quickly evolves into a nail-biter of a survival story….Provocative and scary, and sure to keep readers glued until the very last page.” —Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of Alone and Away
