Critics Review
‘A gripping and intense genre-bender that doesn’t pull punches, set in Australia’s beautiful but hostile far north where more dangers are lurking than you’d think.’
‘A gripping and intense genre-bender that doesn’t pull punches, set in Australia’s beautiful but hostile far north where more dangers are lurking than you’d think.’ * Sarah Epstein *
‘[Dirt Circus League] depicts a thrillingly perverse world with a sort of Mad Max feeling but set into the ordinary life of teenage Asa…The plot is gripping and page-turning. Kimberley has built a world unimaginable, and yet placed it into the centre of one girl’s (previously) unexceptional experience, with the result that the reader is constantly pulled from the banality of everyday life into a parallel universe where strength, viciousness, passion and force rule.’ * Cass Moriarty *
‘A fascinating mixture of thriller, coming of age and climate change activism…a gripping and unique story.’ * ReadPlus *
‘Recommended…to YA readers who love a courageous heroine and a fast-paced, thrilling read’ * CBCA Reading Time *
