“An urgent dare-ya through a darkly, wildly imagined future. Go ahead and try to predict the hairpin turns and steep reverses as you race through this sharply-conceived urban odyssey. You’ll need more than Vivarax to come down from this high.”
–Adele Griffin, National Book Award nominee and author of The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone
“Gorgeously written and richly imagined, this heart-pounding, high-octane novel of suspense, romance and revenge introduces a stunning new voice in YA fiction as well as a new kind of superhero. You won’t be able to put this one down.”
–New York Times bestselling author Aimee Friedman
“A clever, engaging read. Anthem Fleet is a special brand of superhero—fierce, fun, and female.”
–Anna Carey, Author of the Eve Trilogy
“Amelia Kahaney’s wonderfully inventive novel The Brokenhearted is part mystery, part love story, part coming-of-age story, and all page-turning, edge-of-your-seat thriller, set in Bedlam—a strange and broken city that combines the dangerous beauty of The Hunger Games with the dark characters of Batman’s Gotham. You will root for Anthem as she heals her broken heart, and cheer as she learns to fly.”
–Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief
"An atmospheric, adventure-laced debut.”
