“This book will appeal to anyone who is looking for a fast-paced adventure story in which teens must do some fast thinking to survive.”
“Klavan turns up the heat for YA fiction…”
“A thriller that reads like a teenage version of 24… an adrenaline-pumping adventure.”
“Action sequences that never let up… wrung for every possible drop of nervous sweat.”
“…the adrenaline-charged action will keep you totally immersed. The original plot is full of twists and turns and unexpected treasures.”
“[Klavan] is a solid storyteller with a keen eye for detail and vivid descriptive power… The Long Way Home is something like ‘The Hardy Boys’ crossed with the ‘My Teacher Is an Alien’ series.”
“I’m buying everything Klavan is selling, from the excellent first-person narrative, to the gut-punching action; to the perfect doses of humor and wit… it’s all working for me.”
“Through it all, Charlie teaches lessons in Christian decency and patriotism, not by talking about those things, or even thinking about them much, but through practicing them… Well done, Andrew Klavan.”
“This is Young Adult fiction… but the unadulterated intelligence of a superb suspense novelist is very much in evidence throughout.”
