STARRED REVIEW
"Offering psychological drama and an introduction to a martial-arts code of behavior, the book has a meaningful message about power, control, and the internal bruises carried by victims." ~Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Her story is compelling, and readers will stick with her as new insights bring about a believable shift in her behavior...This distinctive debut will be appreciated by fans of contemporary fiction." ~Kirkus Reviews

"Debut author Skilton understands and respects martial arts, and she does a beautiful job presenting the philosophy that drives serious martial artists... Here is a writer to watch who handles complex issues with sensitivity in the vein of Deb Caletti and Sarah Dessen." ~ Booklist

"This layered first novel explores the aftereffects of the trauma, convincingly depicting why Imogen blames herself for a situation over which she had no control... Imogen's struggle is nuanced and honest." ~ Horn Book

"A useful exploration of the difference between fantasy-style omnipotence and the complexity of real-life human strength." ~ Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
