Silver

An intelligent Young Adult novel [...] with an extraterrestrial narrator who combines the passion of Jane Eyre with the pathos of E.T. [...] Levez is brilliant at capturing her heroine's first impressions of Earth -- Emily Bearn * Daily Telegraph * Tense, tender and tragic, this modern love story builds to an explosive climax. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail * Tense, tender and tragic, this modern love story builds to an explosive climax. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail * A gripping, all-encompassing romance that utterly possessed me, mind and body. * Wren James, author of THE LONELIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE * A highly original concept, brilliantly executed. * Teri Terry, author of SLATED * Breathtaking. Powerful. Beautiful. I laughed. I cried. Absolutely unforgettable. * Kathryn Evans, author of BEAUTY SLEEP * Silver is extraordinary, and it touched me deeply. This is an original, note-perfect novel about the importance of connection. I felt bereft when I finished, and days later, I can still think of nothing else. Olivia Levez has achieved something beautiful with Silver; a lyrical, heart-breaking read that reminds us what it truly means to be human. * Jan Dunning, author of THE LAST THING YOU'LL HEAR * A tender and aching romance, and a haunting exploration of empathy and the all-important threads that keep us connected. A simply beautiful read. * Tia Fisher, author of CROSSING THE LINE * Humorous in parts, and heartbreaking in others, theirs is a story that I thoroughly enjoyed - one I didn't want to end and one that teenage readers will gobble up when it hits the shelves in the autumn. [...] She is a fabulous character, and her story is one that fans of YA novels - and in particularromance and/or sci-fi - will love. * World's Smallest Library * Poetic and thought-provoking, Silver is more than a poignant love story. It's also about family, the messiness of human existence and the need to be understood. * Sue Wallman * I am blown away. What a book. Phenomenal writing, plot, characters, everything. * The Reader Penguin * Olivia is the queen of writing flawed characters with compassion and nuance. Silver is ultimately about love, hope and finding our shared humanity. * Patrice Lawrence, author of ORANGEBOY * This is a poignantly written love story about what it means to be human [...] There are moments of humour, drama, and even jeopardy, and the exquisite ending, which shows how Silver has learned what it is to be really alive, will make readers cry. * The Bookseller * Blending sci-fi, romance and contemporary, this YA novel is an emotive and compelling read. How far would you go for love? Read on to find out why this was my favourite read of the summer. * The Reader Penguin *
