'An extraordinary dystopian novel... compelling and original' - Sunday Times, Book of the Year
'One of the most vivid, tough, bold and gripping books I've read in a long time - and it's utterly original, the kind of story to carry you away' - Katherine Rundell, author of The Good Thieves
'Like nothing I have read before... hand-in-mouth gripping... [Hyder] will become a household name and her books a curriculum staple' - The Times, Children's Book of the Month
'One of the most ambitious and darkly brilliant YA books I've read. It's provocative, tender, claustrophobic and epic. It blew my mind' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars
'Bearmouth is devastating, genre breaking, a book in which the very language changes as the plot progresses. A Jonathan Livingstone Seagull for today. I can't wait to see what Hyder does next, I will go wherever she takes me' - Daisy Johnson
