What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A speculative thriller about personal growth that deals with all-too-real traumas.” – Kirkus
A New York Public Library Best Book of 2022
”…a searing futuristic story of systemic racism, police brutality, and unchecked power” – Horn Book
“In a first-person POV that’s both unafraid and unapologetic, Jackson brings a sci-fi twist to the reality of police brutality and the oftentimes literal silencing of marginalized peoples, putting queer people of color at the helm of effective change” – Publishers Weekly
“Reminiscent of Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give, Jackson’s too-close-to-home dystopian novel adds a level of thought-provoking complexity that will undoubtedly compel readers to grapple with the use and abuse of power by government entities” – Booklist, (STARRED review)
“This novel will keep readers on their toes, holding their breath, and hoping Jamal makes it out of the dome alive. A highly recommended, thrilling read” – School Library Journal, (STARRED review)
