Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A melancholy and ruminative book that is part travelogue, part mystery, and part coming-of-age…Beautifully written, full of keen observation.” —New York Times Book Review
“This thought-provoking coming-of-age story requires that readers be at least as mature as Mila as she confronts unpleasant truths…Mila’s sharp observations of the people she meets and the winter landscape add a fresh, poetic aura to her discoveries and the novel as a whole.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Narrator Suzy Jackson reflects the shifting viewpoints of twelve-year-old Mila as a trip to America with her beloved father is transformed when his best friend goes missing. Mila swings into sleuth mode, determined to discover the missing man’s whereabouts. Jackson’s perceptive performance captures Mila’s pride at collecting clues that escape the adults and her confusion over facts that refuse to add up. Mila’s not the only detective; there’s a greater mystery at hand. As the plot darkens, and lies emerge, Jackson portrays Mila’s struggle to piece together the complexities of the adult world in which Mila finds herself.” —AudioFile
“With strong characters and a well-articulated plot, Picture Me Gone is a welcome addition to any collection. The author accurately captures this mature adolescent’s view of adults without condescension or judgment, a feat worthy of praise.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Rosoff, who writes each of her books differently (and often brilliantly), shapes this story as much by form and intuitions as by events…There’s no condescension or compromise to the obvious audience either in premise or prose. It’s another choice, one that allows the book to offer its many insights on the human condition to a widespread readership.” —Booklist (starred review)
“A brilliant depiction of the complexity of human relationships in a story that’s at once contemplative and suspenseful.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
