– Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW (For full review, click here). “The unpredictability of curses, magic, and love are inexorably entwined in this gracefully written story from adult author Barzak.” Give this to teen readers who want a quieter paranormal tale or a sincere love story between two boys.” “With leisurely pacing and simple, expressive language, Barzak expertly balances magical realism, historical flashbacks, and contemporary teen romance in Aidan’s journey of self-discovery. “This story has plenty of appeal and potential and offers a twist on the typical paranormal romance-while a sincere, thoughtful LGBT relationship is important to Aidan’s character development, it isn’t the central focus of the book.” The captivating Stonewall Honor-winning novel of love, family.

Wonders of the Invisible World van Christopher Barzak (boek, ebook, ISBN 9780385392815). “Part ghost story, part love story, this page-turner is a captivating exploration of the power of place, family, memory, and time itself.” To the reader searching for all of these themes, I say, Look no further.” “Barzak’s Wonders of the Invisible World is a wonder itself-a coming-of-age, coming-out, and crossing-into-the mystic novel all rolled into one. Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves But if you do, then Wonders of the Invisible World is the book you’ve been waiting for.” “If you don’t want a book with magic, mystery, lying parents, ancient curses, and true, true love (plus wonderful writing,) then I’m not sure I care to know you.
