Selected as a Junior Library Guild Pick Praise for Strangelets Mysterious, compelling, and edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat, drive-you-out-of-your-mind suspenseful, Strangelets was a thrill ride I never wanted to end. --Robin Wasserman Didn't put it down until I was done--and then I was sad it was over. Can't wait to see what Gagnon is up to next! --Liz Braswell Three very different teens on the edge of death get firsthand experience of the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics... Finding out what happened takes a back seat to survival... but readers won't mind. Interesting characters, some of whom have dangerous secrets, act and react like real teens. The slow reveal of what's going on is as tantalizing as the action is pulse-pounding... A fun ride. -- Kirkus Reviews Well-executed survivalist horror.... Engrossing characters and building suspense.... Pulse-pounding. -- Publishers Weekly Fast-paced.... very intriguing. --Kittling Books Gagnon blends the dystopian phenomenon with a creepiness that fans of The Walking Dead can appreciate. And while Gagnon presents the story simply, it is anything but easy to explain, with the tragedy of an incident akin to Isla Bick's Ashes. .. With gore, sympathetic and equally unsympathetic characters, and tension, teens will unequivocally devour this dystopian tale, which is certainly worth adding to the shelf. --VOYA I loved the story.... There were many twists and turns and surprises along the way, but it all helped build this world the characters suddenly found themselves in. It was amazing. --The Story Behind the Book Cover A crazy, mysterious, creepy, mind boggling story! --Some Like It Paranormal Strangelets is crazy and awesome and thrilling and, well, strange.... I look forward to reading more from Gagnon, especially if it's anything like Strangelets. --Beauty and the Booksh
