‘Above pulls off that rare trick of being convincing and utterly magical at the same time.’ – Emma Donoghue, NYT best-selling author of Room
‘Leah Bobet’s Above is that rarest of creatures, combining the outspoken honesty of a good first novel with the craft of a seasoned professional.’ – Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award-winning author of Dust
Matthew has loved Ariel from the moment he found her in the tunnels, her bee’s wings falling away. They live in Safe, an underground refuge for those fleeing the city Above, like Whisper, who speaks to ghosts, and Jack Flash, who can shoot lightning from his fingers.
But one terrifying night, an old enemy invades Safe with an army of shadows, and only Matthew, Ariel, and a few friends escape Above.
Above is the debut of an amazing new voice.
