A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

? "Riveting from the very first chapter, Esther's story is unpredictable and chilling, her narration viscerally revealing the quiet terrors of captivity and brainwashing. The Special Ones don't really have any special wisdom, but the characters—even him—are unforgettable. A complex, enthralling page-turner." —Kirkus, starred review "This modern-day psychological thriller is as gripping and intense as Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train. . . . Complex characters and well-written dialogue will keep readers turning pages until the breathtaking conclusion. A must-have for YA collections, especially where thrillers are popular." —SLJ ". . . a deeply creepy and taut thriller . . ." —Bulletin

Praise for Shift Winner of the Gold Inky Award (Australia) Childrens Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Older Readers shortlist Aurealis YA Fiction Award shortlist   “The intriguing plot points and themes on offer here could easily power several novels. . . . Sheer inventiveness should keep readers turning pages.” —Kirkus Reviews “Bailey builds her first YA novel with precision, drawing readers into a complicated world where things are not at all what they seem. In a story that is as much about friendship and redemption as it is about second-guessing reality, Bailey creates characters that have depth and authenticity. As Olive’s nemesis, Miranda is as creepy as they come, and readers will wonder to the very end what to make of her shifting personalities. Olive’s story comes to a satisfying conclusion, one that will be hard to forget.” —Publishers Weekly  

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Esther is one of the Special Ones: four young spiritual guides who live in a remote farmhouse under the protection of a mysterious cult leader. He watches them around the clock, ready to punish them if they forget who they are—and all the while, broadcasting their lives to eager followers on the outside.       Esther knows that if she stops being Special, he will “renew” her. Nobody knows what happens to the Special Ones who are taken away from the farm for renewal, but Esther fears the worst. Like an actor caught up in an endless play, she must keep up the performance if she wants to survive long enough to escape.
