‘With moments of exquisite and lyrical writing and a plot ablaze with dramatic tension, Anomaly is an assured and moving debut from a writer to watch.’

‘An utterly gripping survival story that will have you turning pages well into the night.’

‘Featuring relatable adolescent characters in a horrifying future, Anomaly builds towards epic intimations that should have younger readers hanging out for the next volume’.

‘Describing a monster in books rarely ever works to raise the goosebumps on one’s arm, to make them fear the dark they read in, and reconsider opening a book before going to sleep. This is yet another reason why Anomaly is a must-read’.

‘Fast-paced, compelling and confidently plotted … a gripping page-turner’.

‘Lord writes confidently into the genre, creating a world that is clearly speculative and yet filled with anxieties and fears grounded in reality’.
