Synopses & Reviews
Welcome to Bordertown. A hybrid community of misfits, oddballs and runaways. Where humans, elves and haflings co-exist. Where magic and the brutal realities of survival clash and mix. For Orient and Tick-Tick... its just home.
Orient is a finder. A finder of lost things. His gift will come in handy. Human kids seeking wild thrills in Nevernever — mostly restricted to elves — are being lured into taking a new drug that morphs them into Truebloods. Except this is a one-way trip. The drug kills everyone who takes it.
Its up to Orient to find the killer.
Review
“A refreshing, ingenious hardcover debut.” —
Kirkus“Suspenseful and entrancing.” —Library Journal
“Finder is a delightful bit of alchemistry that deftly blends the detective and fantasy genres. The characters get under your skin, and a world in which the young and disaffected are willing to risk death in a mad bid for redemption is oddly familiar. Bulls delicate touch allows her to exploit the crossover genre with particular success.”—School Library Journal
“An effortless read....Everything, from scenes of suspense to scenes of high emotion, is deftly done.” —The Washington Post
“[A] delightful fantasy.” —Denver Post
