ALA Printz Honor“It is a pleasure to read science fiction that’s full of warm, strong characters—people who are really fond of one another, children who are ignorant and vulnerable, powerful evildoers whom one can pity, good people who make mistakes. It’s a pleasure to read science fiction that doesn’t rely on violence as the solution to complex problems of right and wrong. It’s a pleasure to read The House of the Scorpion!”“Fabulous.”“Strong, rough, exciting reading.”“A story rich in twists and tangles, heroes and heroines . . . and often dazzlingly beautiful descriptive prose.”* “Farmer's novel . . . hits close to home, raising questions of what it means to be human, what is the value of life, and what are the responsibilities of a society. Readers will be hooked from the first page.”* “Powerful [and] ultimately hopeful. . . . A remarkable coming-of-age story.”* “An inspiring tale of friendship, survival, hope, and transcendence.”“Mind-expanding fiction for older teens that also works for adults."
