A debut novel of astounding power and heart, MOSQUITOLAND is perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, John Green and David Levithan.
[Mosquitoland] boasts a funny, gutsy, straight-talking heroine with a distinctive voice, whose company is a blast of fresh air
[Mim's] endless wise-cracking (on a road trip by Greyhound bus to visit her sick mother) is a joy
Invigorating and humourous... At last a Kerouacian adventure for teenage girls
Fresh and often very endearing
At times heartwarming, heartbreaking and hilarious, but always maintaining a distinctly innocent brilliance
There is no shortage of humor in Mim's musings, interspersed with tender scenes and a few heart-pounding surprises. Mim's triumphant evolution is well worth the journey
[A] sparkling, startling, laugh-out-loud debut novel
[A] captivating first novel... illuminating
A breath of fresh air... [a novel that] bucks the usual classifications and stands defiantly alone
Memorable
A stunning debut... mesmerizing
Mim is possibly one of the mostly lovable YA characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading... Definitely one of the best YA novels of 2015
