King is one of the best Y.A. writers working today. She captures the disorientation of adolescence brilliantly.... 'Reality Boy' is finally a novel about whether you are fated to the life the world expects you to have.' 'John Green, 'The New York Times Book Review''' * 'A nuanced portrayal....This is a story about healing.' ''Publishers Weekly', starred review'' 'Put down the remote and pick up 'Reality Boy'--it's a showstopper.' ''The Horn Book''' 'The hallmarks of [King's] strong work are there: magical realism, heightened emotion, and the steady, torturous, beautiful transition into self-assured inner peace. Like Gerald, it's wonderfully broken.' ''Booklist''' '[A] smart and sympathetic story about breaking free from the world's expectations.' ''The Bulletin''' * 'Heart-pounding and heartbreaking.... a compulsively readable portrait of two imperfect teens learning to trust each other and themselves.' ''Kirkus Reviews', starred review'' * 'King's trademarks--attuned first-person narrative, convincing dialogue, realistic language, and fitting quirkiness--connect effectively in this disturbing, yet hopeful novel.' ''School Library Journal', starred review'' * 'King's writing is tighter, more focused, and better than ever.... [An] intense and incredibly fresh plot.' ''VOYA', starred review'' * 'King offers a compelling look at possible long-term effects of reality shows.... thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic.' ''Library Media Connection', starred review'' 'We all know at least one teen who needs a book like this; I didn't know I needed it until I turned the last page.' Dodie Ownes, ''SLJTeen''' 'A novel full of provocative ideas and sharply observed thoughts about the pressures society places on teenagers, especially girls.' ''Publishers Weekly,' starred review'' 'King performs an impressive balancing act here, juggling the magic realism of Glory's visions with her starkly realistic struggle.... [A] powerful, moving, and compellingly complex coming-of-age story.' ''Booklist,' starred review'' * 'An indictment of our times with a soup on of magical realism.... Will inspire a new wave of activists.'--Kirkus Reviews, starred review 'Glory is a wry, occasionally acerbic narrator, exhibiting the balance of truth-telling and blindness so common to smart teens. In trademark King style, the chapters alternate between daily life and troubled future, despair and humor, rage and acceptance.'--Shelf Awareness 'The characters will stay with readers long after they finish the novel....Highly recommended.'--VOYA 'This book reminds you to get scared. It reminds you that battles fought aren't always won, that history repeats itself, that what we take for granted can easily be dismantled.'--'Birthday by Birthday, a Starter Library for Young Feminists' --BNTeenblog * 'King performs an impressive balancing act here, juggling the magic realism of Glory's visions with her starkly realistic struggle.... [A] powerful, moving, and compellingly complex coming-of-age story.'--Booklist, starred review * 'A novel full of provocative ideas and sharply observed thoughts about the pressures society places on teenagers, especially girls.'--Publishers Weekly, starred review *'Not only thoroughly original but also uniquely compelling and deeply memorable.'--Horn Book, starred review 'Wickedly clever...a genre-busting battlefield of a book.'--Bestselling author Rick Yancey for The New York Times 'You won't be able to put down this futuristic story about a girl who starts having visions of both the past and the future-in which she sees an end to women's rights and a civil war between sexes.'--Teen Vogue * 'King continues to be one of the most original (yet accessible) YA writers today, and the magical realism element accentuates the humanity of the narrative.'--The Bulletin, starred review * 'An indictment of our times with a soupcon of magical realism.... Will inspire a new wave of activists.'--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * 'This beautifully strange, entirely memorable book will stay with readers.'--School Library Journal, starred review Reseña del editor Graduating from high school is a time of limitless possibilities - but not for Glory, who has no plan for what's next. Her mother killed herself when Glory was only four years old, and she's never stopped wondering if she will eventually go the same way...until a transformative night when she begins to experience an astonishing new power to see a person's infinite past and future. From ancient ancestors to many generations forward, Glory is bombarded with visions - and what she sees ahead of her is terrifying.A santimonious new leader raises an army. Women's rights disappear. A violent second civil war breaks out. And young girls vanish daily, sold off or interned in camps. Glory makes it her mission to record everything, hoping her notes will help people understand how misguided and extremist behaviour in the present will snowball into dire consequences. She may not see a future for herself, but she'll do everything in her power to make sure this one doesn't come to pass.A.S. King's newest offering is a masterful portrayal of a girl coping with devastating loss at long last - a girl who has no idea that the future needs her, and that the present needs her even more. Biografía del autor A.S. King is the author of the highly acclaimed Reality Boy; Ask the Passengers, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner; Everybody Sees the Ants; and the Edgar Award nominated, Michael L. Printz Honor book Please Ignore Vera Dietz. She is also the author of The Dust of 100 Dogs, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. When asked about her writing, King says, 'Some people don't know if my characters are crazy or if they are experiencing something magical. I think that's an accurate description of how I feel every day.' She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and children.
