Reviews for In a Handful of Dust
A very satisfying journey, by turns philosophical and riveting.
Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Tension's maintained by constant, subtle foreshadowing (rather than transparent cliffhangers), and the characters rarely feel safe enough for readers to relax. Hard to put down.
