Mouths have never run so dry at the idea of thirst. * Kirkus Reviews *... the palpable desperation that pervades the plot as it thunders toward the ending feels true, giving it a chilling air of inevitability. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *"A pacy, gripping read which combines snarky teenage dialogue and concerns about friendship, family and the future with the heightened emotion of facing the apparent end of your world." * Press Association Syndicated Review *"I thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly, enjoyed this book. It was captivating, it was honestly terrifying. […] I loved this book so much, it was dark & shocking at times, it made me think deeply about our societys values and the current state of our world and I love that Neal is highlighting these issues in his books. He is slowly becoming one of my absolute favourite authors." * Bibliotales *"This book was so thought-provoking, it made me think a lot about what we currently value and the things we take for granted." * Bibliotales * Details ISBN1406386855 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2018 ISBN-10 1406386855 ISBN-13 9781406386851 Format Paperback Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Media Book Author Jarrod Shusterman Audience Age 14 DEWEY 813.6 Language English UK Release Date 2018-10-04 Publication Date 2018-10-04 AU Release Date 2018-10-04 NZ Release Date 2018-10-04 Audience Teenage / Young adult Pages 368 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
