A coworker and friend of mine who bought AWAY was reading it at work today while on her break. When she came back to the office, she said, with a big grin, "I just met Nipper. " It made me smile to hear one of the characters in AWAY described that way--like a real personality in the world. Still smiling now.

VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) likes Away!

VOYA reviewed AWAY and they like it!

"Hall’s imaginative dystopian world takes the concepts of good vs. evil and modern vs. primitive into fresh territory with plenty of comparisons to today’s world. For readers reluctant to dip into science fiction, this adventure is an engaging place to start. While it is not necessary to start with The Line, it would help fill out the details, and at the conclusion of Away, readers will find themselves eagerly hoping for a third installment."

"This worthy sequel to Hall’s The Line (2010) continues to build a dystopian world rich with suspense and moral choices . . . her world comes across vividly, and her characters stand out as varied and real."

And, they loved Nipper! Yahooooo!
