What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Lydia’s suspenseful first-person narration effectively conveys her distrust, confusion, and amazement as well as her determination to find answers while creating a rich subtext focusing on the old world of books and paper and raising timely questions about the technology replacing them.… An absorbing, complex debut.” — Kirkus Reviews
“[E]motional drive confers depth in this clue-riddled novel.” — Publishers Weekly
“The Paper Museum is a wonderfully engaging story that is equal parts mystery and magic in a setting that contains both the inventively futuristic and the seemingly archaic. Beautifully told, with sympathetic characters and a compelling narrative that will pull readers through and keep them guessing until the very end.” —Wade Albert White, author of The Adventurer’s Guide series
