An Excerpt from No Passengers Beyond This Point
|
Three siblings - India, Finn, and Mouse - have less than forty-eight hours to pack up all their belongings and fly, without Mom, to their uncle Red's in Colorado, after they lose their house to foreclosure. But when they land, a mysterious driver meets them at the airport, and he's never heard of Uncle Red. Like Dorothy in Oz, they find themselves in a place they've never heard of, with no idea of how to get home, and time is running out.
"A fun ride, full of adventure, suspense, and good characterization." - School Library Journal In a total departure, Gennifer Choldenko tells a story of adventure and survival, set in a fantastical place with rules all its own. Sharp dialogue, high stakes, and taut action make this a book that will stick with you long after you read the incredible ending. "Concrete yet dreamlike." - The Horn Book "Choldenko's pacing is sure and her use of airport argot (white courtesy phones, a missing black box) adds an inventive element to this story of unlikely survival." - Publishers Weekly "Constant shifts in perspective create suspense and contribute to the novel's eerie, dreamlike quality. The humdinger of an ending helps explain this off-kilter world while leaving much to ponder." - The Washington Post "Fascinating." - Kirkus Reviews "The distinct voices of India, Finn, and Mouse, joint narrators, ring loud and clear with the complications of sibling rivalry . . . . Choldenko infuses each with a unique tenderness and humor." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A fast-paced mindbender." - Booklist |
