* "Invictus is a creative, mesmerizing adventure... From start to
finish, it will captivate readers with unique characters,
intriguing concepts, and an adorable red panda. It would be a great
disservice to this generation of action-packed cinema to dismiss
this novel without attempting to bring it to the big screen...
Invictus is a ride that no young adult reader should miss."--VOYA
Teen Reviewer (starred review)

with humor will be enthralled."--Publishers Weekly (starred

"Invictus gripped my heart. Graudin's achingly beautiful prose and
thoughtful exploration of time, history, and identity create a
stunning story. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and yet I

want to stop time to live in this tale."--Roshani Chokshi, New York
Times Bestselling Author of The Star-Touched Queen

indebted and cheekily alluding to Doctor Who and Firefly."--Kirkus

out of place in Firefly. A well-researched, thoroughly enjoyable
