Knox, Elizabeth
2 Reviews

YA
It's 1959 in Southland (an alternate-universe New Zealand) when sixteen-year-old Canny discovers a hidden house and finds herself strongly attracted to the young man imprisoned there. This literary fantasy demonstrates why Knox is one of the genre's premier writers. The prose is lush and descriptive, the characters are drawn with finesse, the plot is a series of riddles nested within one another.

YA
Dreamhunter Laura Hame and her family mobilize an inquiry into the use of nightmares in the "education" of convicts. The story is rife with suspense and notable for its vivid mythic imagery, including the motif of Lazarus. An involving--and challenging--read that's outstanding in its ability to make readers think poetically and analytically about human nature.
