Alyson Noel is the author of The Immortals series, the teen novels Faking 19, Art Geeks and Prom Queens, Laguna Cove, Kiss and Blog, Saving Zoe and Cruel Summer, as well as the adult novel Fly Me to the Moon.
"Riley, who appeared in ghost form to her older sister, Ever, in
Noel's bestselling Evermore, takes center stage in this
middle-grade spinoff, first in a planned series. . . . her wit,
attitude, and maturation should have readers gladly following her
into the second installment."--"Publishers Weekly"
"I must admit there is not one thing I don't like about this book.
I just listed it all the pros and there are no cons. I would rate
it FIVE STARS if I was a critic. And I guess I am. Now I have
something to look forward to, the second book coming out in Spring
2011."--Hadley, at "AllyKatzz.com"
"I like Riley . . . She's faced with challenges and loves to meet
them head-on. I'm very pleased with this book. . . . Riley's story
is touching, moving, and uplifting."--"Biliophilic Book Blog"
"Narrating in a contemporary voice with an honest and comfortable
cadence, Riley is imperfect, but always likable as she sweeps
readers to her faraway land where she makes herself and readers
assess their behaviors and, quite possibly, make adjustments. In
the midst of this wildly fanciful setting, Noel is able to capture
with nail-on-the-head accuracy common worries and concerns of
today's tweens."--"School Library Journal"
"A tale for lovers of the genre . . . For those preteens who like a
mild supernatural adventure with romantic overtones, you go,
ghost."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"Riley is such a great, refreshing character and I loved her voice.
She has some great inner monologues that made me laugh out loud . .
. I really enjoyed Radiance . . . I'd definitely recommend YA fans
of Alyson Noel to pick it up. I'm looking forward to finding out
what happens next with Riley and Bodhi."--"Mundie Moms"
"Alyson did a great job writing Radiance. It was what I expected
and more . . . She was able to catch that young voice and portray
it beautifully. . . . Radiance is a great summer read. I give it 5
BITES!"--"Books With Bite"
"Another highly creative and well thought out series
