Printz Honor BookWinner of the Carnegie MedalBook of the Month Club SelectionKirkus Best Book of the YearJunior Library Guild SelectionIndie Next PickMcCaughrean slips into the cracks of the human soul, dissecting with compassion the many paths that a person might take. Though this story is desperately sad at times, it glistens, too, propelled by the notion that where there is life, there is always, always hope. -Booklist, starred reviewAn epic, nearly mythic tale. McCaughrean takes the bones of a real event, wraps it in immersive, imaginative detail and thoroughly real emotion, and creates an unforgettable tale of human survival. A masterpiece. -Kirkus, starred reviewMcCaughreans storytelling is as dramatic and harsh as the island itself. A stunning literary achievement. -BookPage, starred reviewWhere the World Ends is a beautiful, sorrowful, poignant book with deeply drawn characters, a chilling atmosphere, and waves of emotion. Highly recommended. -New York Journal of BooksBased on a true story, Where the World Ends stuns with its dark narrative and haunting visual imagery, exploring what happens when the everyday-ordinary turns disastrously extraordinary. Unforgettable. -Shelf AwarenessHarshly beautiful, and stark with near-despair, this is an unsettling, deeply original historical novel. -The GuardianEmotionally thunderous. -The Sunday Times (UK)Unsettling and utterly gripping, Where the World Ends paints a stunning portrait of a desperate battle for survival and the different methods employed to keep the group-and their fears-under some sort of control. With its wonderful evocation of time and place, beautiful writing and compelling storyline, this is a stunning addition to McCaughreans already impressive portfolio of books. -Lancashire Evening Post (UK)Based on a real event, this is a story that sings to the soul. It belongs in every school and library. This is stark, beautiful story-making.everything a magnificent read should be. -The Historical Novel SocietyThis is the best book Ive read this year. Extraordinary. -Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The MerciesFrom tragedy, McCaughrean has created a wonderful love story. -Michael Morpurgo, author of War HorseBrilliant, beautiful, as unpredictable as the sea itself. -Philip Reeve, author of Mortal Engines.
