“Everything about this book is clever and fast-paced and smart... this book just hits it out of the park.” - Cristin (Children's and YA buyer, McNally Jackson) 

“A marriage of genres so perfectly done, one wonders why this teenage Humphrey Bogart isn't already a series.” - Mabel's Fables Bookstore, Toronto

“Brilliantly voiced thriller with a stunning climax” - The Bookbag UK

“Forget the mean streets. In High & Dry, the classrooms and hallways offer plenty of intrigue and danger. Sarah Skilton cleverly blends the best and scariest parts of senior year — first love, changing friendships, growing up— with a twisting, turning, didn’t-see-it-coming mystery.”
— Kimberly Reid, author of MY OWN WORST FRENEMY
