The Times
"This enjoyable eco-thriller is richly told...McCaughrean knows how to tell a story."

Philip Reeve (author of Mortal Engines):
"The mind of Geraldine McCaughrean is one of the great natural wonders of our universe...The Supreme Lie will need reading at least twice: once in a rush as you’re carried along by the twisting narrative, and again at a more leisurely pace so you can fully appreciate the writing."
Young star reader Zachary B:
"A great piece of writing, and oddly realistic. It made me wonder what extreme conditions can be brought about by natural disasters. I also loved the language."
