Here, and Only Here

By Christelle Dabos

★ “Enticingly peculiar...The novel will appeal to those who enjoy something radically different.”—Michael Cart, Booklist (starred)

“This is a gripping and disturbing read: sharp, intense and coolly observant of school day relationships and transgressions.”—Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail

“A dense fever dream.”—Kirkus

“Imagine all your middle-school nightmares made manifest. Add to that an eerie paranormal aspect that elevates the whole to the maximum level and you have this wildly creative and engaging tale of the middle school from hell.”—Eric Boss, Reading the West

“The book is interlaced with multiple different storylines (as is true of any good school!) — at the School of Here, you’ll find secret societies, magic, mystery, and students dealing with the loneliness and alienation that everyone feels at that young, pliant age.”—Powell's

“Dabos is a talented writer unafraid to tackle complex issues and it shows here...[her] writing is crisp and sharp.”—Chris Haigh, Set the Tape
