Media Reviews

Every so often a book comes along with a premise so fresh and arresting it seems to exist in a category all its own. Elsewhere, by Gabrielle Zevin, is such a book. Zevin's touch is marvelously light even as she considers profundities, easily moving among humor, wisdom and lyricism... No plot synopsis can convey what a rich, wise spell this book casts. * The New York Times Book Review *
Fascinating. Zevin, in her first novel for young people, bends the laws of physics and biology to create an intricately imagined world. * Publishers Weekly *
