Siberia

Uncorrected Proof. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 233. Glossy pictorial wraps.

Signed as "Ann Halam (aka Gwyneth Jones)" on title page. Stamped "Proof/Damaged" to inner cover, else Fine.

Shortlisted for the 2005 Booktrust Teenage Prize. Gr. 5–8. "Siberia is not a place, it's a state of mind." Part dystopian thriller, part science fable, Siberia is set in the frozen wastes of a near future where the families of criminals and dissidents are banished to prison camps, and wild mammals have become extinct. Ann Halam is a pseudonym Gwyneth Jones uses to pen Young Adult Fantasy Fiction.

"Siberia is proof that teen fantasy can deal with complex and difficult themes as adequately as adult fiction. [...] A quietly impressive book." –Jon Courtenay Grimwood, The Guardian
