Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Glimpse is a subtle punch in the gut. Williams’ demonstrates how courage, resilience, and love can help young people in the most dire of situations survive. This is a book I will read again and one I will recommend to teachers and to my own students." -- Chris Crowe, author, professor at BYU and former ALAN president.



" An edge-of-the-seat thriller written in sharp, glinting shards of words. Held in, held back, whispered and shouted. Fantastic!" -- Tim Wynne-Jones, author of the Uninvited

"A brutal, gripping story." --BOOKLIST

"A page-turner for Ellen Hopkins fans."—KIRKUS

"This well-paced, raw novel-in-verse is a worthy purchase, especially for Ellen Hopkins's fans who are looking for another verse novel in which teens overcome dire circumstances."--SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, August 2010
