Winner of the 2006 Esther Glen Award for the most distinguished contribution to New Zealand Children's literature. The judging panel said in its citation, "Few writers can make the transition from the extravagances of writing for adults to the conciseness necessary when writing for children and young adults, yet Elizabeth Knox has achieved [it]. The plot is brilliantly original and convincing, and the writing is superb." An alternate reality dream world for Young Adults. "It is like nothing else I've ever read." –Stephenie Meyer, (author of The Twilight Saga)
