Clear, controlled prose builds burgeoning tension … while unraveling carefully conceived plot twists, which address themes of totalitarianism, nuclear war, and xenophobia. Dimensional characters and compelling questions.
Publishers Weekly
Encourages young readers to think about the tension between freedom and security while keeping them engrossed in a suspenseful story. Well done indeed.
Kirkus Reviews
The Line took me ‘away’ in one page-turning gulp. Hall’s writing is seamless, smooth and compelling—I can’t wait for the next installment. This is a new author to keep an eye on.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Hall nicely embeds the history of this repressive future world in a tense narrative that will leave readers intrigued with the mysterious Away. Rachel is an appealing character, and her young voice and the straightforward language make this a good choice for introducing young readers to the science-fiction genre.
