Funny, rude and violently enjoyable for 13+ -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman * Burgess is back with a punchy novel about white supremacy and urban warfare... [it reflects] the trend of YA books addressing intersectional issues in ways the adult market struggles to do * The Bookseller * Marti's voice is unique and her will to survive is like nothing the Bloods could have possibly imagined ... her story rips and races at breakneck speed * LoveReading * Utterly terrifying... devastatingly clever, completely mindblowing and will leave you with so much to think about * NE Book Awards * As punchy and bold as you'd imagine a Melvin Burgess novel to be * The School Librarian *
