Books like this one succeed in building magnificent and complex worlds that fire my imagination and inspire my love for reading. Edge Anomaly is captivating from the very start. Each scene and character are well presented. I really liked the colorful animal world that Meg Rabbit has crafted. This inspirational story contains adventure, danger, secrets to uncover, and delightful characters who are good role models. They remind us of the importance and complexity of trust and friendship, and push us to think about the role of science, technology, and engineering. I'm looking forward to reading more books from Meg Rabbit."-Emma Megan, age 17Five star review from Litpick"I really enjoyed Edge Anomaly. The characters are interesting and full of personality. The author's descriptions were vivid, and she did a great job creating the exotic and magical world the story takes place in. The story was written at a good pace, so it didn't feel too slow or too rushed. Unlike some books, this one was very unpredictable, and I had no idea how it was going to go. I liked the plot twists, and I enjoyed reading about Edge's adventures.The vocabulary index at the beginning was helpful too. Anyone who likes books about animals, science fiction, and other worlds will not be disappointed with Meg Rabbit's original and compelling story."- BlueMusic52, age 13Five star reviews from Goodreads"Edge Anomaly is a fun, well-paced book that is layered in not only the characters but the world development, that pushes you to think about the themes being presented, and keeps you wanting more. A Great book - That is not one to be missed."- Erick Casselman"I really liked the original, imaginative and refreshing world of Meg Rabbit. We discover endearing, detailed characters, as well as a magical and exotic universe. I recommend this novel for all ages."- Sentinelle23"The world-building in this book is fantastic. It's really readable, with characters you'll love—but it's the big ideas in the story that really drew me in. Who knew a tale with talking animals could touch on so many deep topics! A great story to read with your kid, or talk about with your teenager, but fun for adults too."-Alistair Croll
