Industry Reviews

"Strong worldbuilding is matched with breathtaking adventure, a touch of romance, and compelling characters... Thought-provoking and entertaining in equal measure, here's hoping this isn't the last we see of Simon and Alice." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"Beautifully imagined and vividly described...a prevailing tone of earnestness and hope balances the decay and dread to create an ideal first experience of a horror standby." -- Publishers Weekly

"Although there is some delicious gore and thrilling discovery, Simon's family is the heart of the novel... Dark fantasy and even some horror buffs will appreciate the scares." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for When My Heart Joins the Thousand: "A gorgeous love story of depth and raw emotion that beautifully dismantles the ugly perceptions of autism."
-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[Alvie's] meltdowns and behavioral quirks add dimension to what is a fully realized portrayal of a person living with Asperger's... This is a love story that could also appeal to adult readers. Their love is hard-fought and deservedly earned." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"At last! A.J. Steiger's When My Heart Joins the Thousand offers a love story between two atypical characters with breathtaking honesty about all the messy aspects of real love--sex, compatibility, trust, and most of all, honesty." -- Cammie McGovern, author of Say What You Will
