The Crossing

Only for fans of the author and of bleak dystopian fiction.

The Wonder of All Things

The numerous subplots used to explore obvious ethical questions become ponderous, but fans of The Returned will enjoy. ["A poignant tale of love, loss, and miracles with crossover appeal for teen and Christian fiction readers," read the review of the Mira: Harlequin pb, LJ 10/15/14.]

The Wonder of All Things

Mott delivers a poignant tale of love, loss, and miracles with crossover appeal for teen and Christian fiction readers even though religion is not shown in a favorable light through the lens of television ministry. The author's debut, The Returned (2013), was made into the ABC show Resurrection, and this novel has been optioned by Lionsgate for a feature film. Expect high demand where Mott's first book was popular. [See "ALA 2014 Galley Guide Discoveries," Prepub Alert, 6/30/14.]

The Returned

Recommended where there is demand.

The Returned

This is a masterly first novel for Mott, previously a published poet; it speaks to many aspects of the human condition through the Hargraves' experience, as well as short segments in the voices of returned people around the globe. Highly recommended for those who love a strong story that makes them think. It has already been optioned for television by Brad Pitt's production company. [See also John Ajvide Lindqvist's Handling the Undead for a more horrific take on this theme.—Ed.]
