“In elegant, stylish prose, Lundrigan captures the bewilderment of childhood when it’s set against the backdrop of how awful adults can be. If ever there was a book that will hook you with hatred and love, Hideaway is it. With a great, tense finish, you’ll be desperate for the right characters to win. I loved Maisy as much as I do Scout Finch, and that’s saying something.”

“Lundrigan is a fearless writer, and has created an unforgettable, psychologically complex, smart, dark story in Hideaway. Questioning ideas of safety, truth, and responsibility, it’s a bone-chilling tale that goes places you’ll never expect—your heart will be racing by the final, shocking climax and you’ll never stop cheering for the irresistible child heroes Rowan and Maisy, even in the darkest moments.”
