* "Strong characters drive the carefully crafted novel. . .
Hubbard's sparse, elegant prose captures the rural landscape's
desolate beauty as well as its dangers and palpably expresses the
family's escalating tensions. . . [An] atmospheric, ultimately
hopeful novel."--School Library Journal, starred review
"Haunting, tense, and moving. . . Caleb's efforts to safeguard
himself and his family will stay with readers."--Publishers

smoothly, balancing the everyday with the impending Crisis, and the
ending ties up every loose thread. An excellent choice for
discussion."--Booklist

tale."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The conclusion is a satisfying one. . . Timely."--VOYA
