Lost in the chaos of Venice Beach, among the homegrown freaks and weirdos, the tourists and life’s forgotten people, one runaway is just another face in the crowd—and this is just how Shane likes it.

When I first started this book I wasn't sure where we were going to go. Our hero is a runaway, and our heroine is an unknown entity. Having read a lot of paranormal, I'm used to unknown. Unknown can be great fun. A runaway? The thought just reeks of drama and sadness in my mind.

At the Edge of the World is a fantastic YA novel, in the great tradition of book for younger people that appeal to adults as well. The beautiful writing compels you along the pages and the mystery of the world sucks you right in.
