Critics Review

There are many great voices in YA fiction, but Susin Nielsen manages to give us TWO in the same book. I defy you not to fall in love with this book.
Snappy and witty. A really fine YA novel. * Telegraph Books *
A book to fortify readers against bullies and homophobes. * Sunday Times *
I loved We Are All Made of Molecules, it’s a really special little book with a huge heart and one of the most enjoyable YA books I’ve read in some time * Melissa Cox, Waterstones *
A sheer delight. That next life-affirming book. I’m adding We Are All Made of Molecules to the canon of hope; brilliant books for those kids on the cusp of the next stage in their lives. * Katie Clapham, Storytellers Inc *
