AWARDS & ACCOLADES

PRAISE FOR SKY ON FIRE

“The well-paced plot leads to an ending that provides just enough closure to satisfy and a clear opening for a third book. Libraries that own the original need the sequel. Those without it should consider purchasing both titles.” —School Library Journal

“Since reading Monument 14—in one edge-of-my-seat, non-stop read—I’ve been unable to go into a department store without planning my survival strategy. Paranoia, Aisle 23!” —Eric Walters, author of The Rule of Three

Monument 14: Sky on Fire avoids the pitfalls that often catch second books in a trilogy. Instead of only marking time before a presumably exciting conclusion, the bifurcated plot keeps moving ahead into new territory, delivering scenes filled with tension, action, and well-handled character work.” —Michael Berry, Common Sense Media

“A nifty plot that provides unexpected moments of chaos.” —The Horn Book

“Pretty darn breathless.” —Booklist

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

“The great aspect about SKY ON FIRE is the fact that even when the odds seem insurmountable, as long as there is some faith in humanity, then perhaps the end of the world won’t be as frightening as we imagine it will be.” —Benjamin Boche, Teen Reads

Sky on Fire keeps up the praiseworthy aspects of book one: a racing plot, plenty of action, a credible scenario… I liked the characters more, I liked the action, and I really liked the evocative picture of a society in disaster that Laybourne has created.” —Jill Murphy, The Bookbag

“This book was so intense, I literally could not put it down at all. To say the least, this book was awesome. I wasn’t expecting such greatness.” —Caru, Goodreads Reviewer

Sky on Fire ramped up everything: action, climax, and heartwarming scenes! And the best part of the book was the climax!” —Justin, Goodreads Reviewer

“It’s not very often that a sequel is just as if not better than the first book. But this one totally delivered! The best part?? There is going to be a book 3!!!! Let the countdown begin.” —Shawna, Goodreads Reviewer
