My previous book was published by a traditional publishing house under a different name. It was chosen as one of the Booklist Best Books; was nominated for YALSA's Best Fiction for Young Adults; was a finalist for the Canadian Children's Book Centre Awards; and was featured in the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly in a starred review, Booklist in a starred review, and Kirkus Reviews in a starred review. Now I'm self-publishing for the first time. Some editorial reviews for my previous book: "Frankly spellbinding." - The New York Times "Eye-opening and inspiring." - The LA Times "Thrilling. A breath of fresh air." - Publisher's Weekly "Unique... Feels like a breeze in the desert." - Booklist "Exhilarates and refreshes." - Kirkus Reviews
