Críticas
"If you're an adrenaline junkie, then you will understand the raw appeal of "Breaking Sky." It's like a futuristic teen Top Gun." - Read Breathe Relax
"Strong characterizations, action, adventure, and emotion combine to produce a sci-fi novel that is more than just the sum of its parts. STARRED Review." - School Library Journal
"Smart, exciting, confident-and quite possibly the next Big Thing." - Kirkus
"Replete with fighter pilot jargon, plausible science fiction elements, and nerd-friendly literary allusions, this taut, well-crafted novel should have broad appeal, for fans of everything from Roth's Divergent to Wein's Code Name Verity." - The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
"McCarthy deploys breath-stopping depictions of high-stakes piloting with enviable ease, and the in-your-face personal confrontations are nearly as taut." - Publishers Weekly
"McCarthy pulls no punches, exploring some of the most problematic romance tropes in YA with an analytical eye and a keen sense of humanity." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books praise for The Color of Rain
"If you're looking for a fun, light, super fast read, then this is your book. " - Read Breathe Relax
"McCarthy puts her characters in increasingly tense situations, testing them to the breaking point and giving what could have been merely a popcorn thriller sudden gravity. This crazy-cool story should soar." - Booklist
" This high octane novel catapults readers into a future that is grim and full of unknowns. " - Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Reviews
