Praise for Genius: The Game:
“There is simply too much here to like. . . . Gout's characters are believable and immensely likable and their friendship serves as a delightful and realistic anchor amid the fast-moving chaos. Science and technology may take center stage in Gout’s fictional Game, but it's the less flashy craft of writing that sells the story.” ―The New York Times
“Strong characters who show their bravery throughout, friendships that do not falter, and ethics that do not fail, even when characters are faced with the impossible, are a refreshing change to most teenage novels. Readers will be caught up in the brilliance of the three characters and be surprised at the many twists and turns that they must confront. A gripping must-have.” ―School Library Journal, starred review
"A fast-moving story that presents its protagonists with intriguing moral choices" ― Publishers Weekly

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Square Fish costumam transportar o leitor para mundos onde a aventura se mistura com desafios pessoais e descobertas profundas. Muitas histórias exploram jornadas de crescimento, seja em ambientes fantásticos, como bibliotecas que desafiam o tempo e o espaço, ou em realidades marcadas por conflitos internos e externos, como a luta pela sobrevivência ou a busca por identidade. O tom varia entre o suspense, a fantasia e o drama, com protagonistas jovens que enfrentam dilemas morais e perigos reais, frequentemente em cenários que evocam tanto o fantástico quanto o cotidiano. O catálogo apresenta obras que equilibram narrativas mais dinâmicas e cheias de ação com outras que investem em atmosferas mais introspectivas e emotivas.
