Critics Review
”[Beautiful] is essentially a new-millenium Go Ask Alice with a similar blend of cautionary horror story and weirdly fascinated detail … . Chilling narration … . There’s boldness in the book’s willingness to make Cassie unsympathetic at times … . Train-wreck fascination galore … . It’ll probably be passed around enthusiastically.”
–The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, November 2009.
“The gift in this book [Beautiful] is Reed’s ability to find the perfect words and use them in ways for which the reader is not ready. The writing is lonely, haunting, sensuous, and oddly beautiful.”
–VOYA, August 2010
