★ “Lukoff both explores and then subverts the chosen-one trope through A’s battle with his personal demons…The resolution is both honest and hopeful. Powerful and awakening.” –Kirkus, starred review ★ ""Satisfying [and] horror-tinged…This superb fantastical adventure tackles serious real-world problems faced by queer youth via unique interpretations of Jewish mysticism that, paired with A’s powerfully raw emotional journey, further flesh out the thrilling plot."" –Publishers Weekly, starred review “Kyle Lukoff has given us something rare and beautiful — a novel that combines wondrous fantasy, searing real-world relevance, and a frank empathetic understanding of the adolescent experience that hits so viscerally I can only compare it to the way my generation experienced Judy Blume. The way Lukoff combines these elements in a page-turning adventure is nothing short of magic!” – Rick Riordan, New York Times bestselling author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians
