Critics Review

This propulsive thriller includes well-paced cuts between times that keep the pages turning … compulsively readable * Kirkus *
The diverse cast’s crackling chemistry brings humour and heart to the pulse-pounding plot * Publishers Weekly *
An engaging and fast-paced thriller * Wall Street Journal *
Young readers will be caught up in the chilling events as seen through the eyes of six friends, but so will adult readers. […] A page-turner with a cliff-hanger ending … Highly recommended. * School Library Journal *
Smart, compelling thriller… Propelled by peril and urgency, Westfallen is also often funny, thanks to the splendid cast of characters and their wildly inventive action movie-inspired scheming to put things right, and to be on the right side of history. – Joanne Owen * LoveReading4Kids *
A compulsive thriller with an alternative ending to the Second World War * Chocolit bookshop *

About The Author

Ann Brashares

Ann Brashares is a writer and mother of four living in New York City. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series as well as several other novels. She helped her youngest brother, Ben, with his shoes (and the debilitating lumps in his socks) every morning before school until he learned to tie his own shoes … around eighth grade.

Ben Brashares lives in Montclair, New Jersey, with his wife and three children. He’s the author of Being Edie Is Hard Today and The Great Whipplethorp Bug Collection. He holds an MFA in creative writing and has worked at and written for several magazines, including Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal and Entertainment Weekly. As an adult, Ben gets no help whatsoever tying his shoes. But he still has weird pets. And he still gets lumps in his socks.
