Unforgettable and distinct voices . . . A fantastic novel that will be especially resonant for readers who struggle with being or feeling outside of 'normal.' (starred review Booklist)
This brilliant follow-up to a clever and unexpected novel does exactly what it should in keeping the same epistolary format but taking these two unforgettable characters way out of their comfort zones and toward lives that are lived rather than waited out, and the result is powerful stuff indeed. (starred review BCCB)
Ollie and Moritz continue to be compelling characters, struggling to figure out how to use their talents while living within their limitations. In many ways, they are no different than most teens, just a few steps further along the continuum. (VOYA)
Part mad science, part convincing portrayal of the volatile, resilient nature of friendship and grief--and that, as Ollie says, is not science fiction. (Kirkus Reviews)
The strength of the tale lies in the unique bond between Ollie and Moritz, both of whom are forced to confront their limitations and face their fears about their relative places in the world . . . Fans of the first volume will likely enjoy reading this new chapter in Ollie's and Moritz's lives. (School Library Journal)
The pacing is impeccable, as letters move from sunniness (Oliver) and bemused distance (Moritz) to both writers exploring their darkest fears, experiences, and worries for their futures. (starred review BCCB on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME)
A witty, unusual take on friendship and parlaying weakness into power. (Kirkus Reviews on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME)
Ollie and Moritz are memorable characters with engaging and often humorous voices. . . A quirky, almost whimsical feel even as Thomas grounds it in heartfelt and often painful emotion. (SLJ on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME)
The two may be eccentric outcasts, but their conflicts, heartbreak, and eventual bond form a relatable and engaging narrative. (Publishers Weekly on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME)
It's the distinct, deeply memorable voices of Ollie and Moritz that make this novel an affecting page-turner. (Horn Book Magazine on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME)
Ollie and Moritz might never meet, but their friendship knows no bounds. Their letters carry on as Ollie embarks on his first road trip away from the woods--no easy feat for a boy allergic to electricity--and Moritz decides which new school would best suit an eyeless boy who prefers to be alone.
Along the way they meet other teens like them, other products of strange science who lead seemingly normal lives in ways Ollie and Moritz never imagined possible: A boy who jokes about his atypical skeleton; an aspiring actress who hides a strange deformity; a track star whose abnormal heart propels her to victory. Suddenly the future feels wide open for two former hermits. But even as Ollie and Moritz dare to enjoy life, they can't escape their past, which threatens to destroy any progress they've made. Can these boys ever find their place in a world that might never understand them?
