'A marvelous novel - in every sense of the word - with all the qualities of a literary classic, Moriarty blends magic, science and a wry humor in her tale of two teens from different worlds'
— Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches 

" Another one of a kind from the inimitable Moriarty, this time, a barely epistolary fantasy series opener unlike anything else out there. ...Quirky, charming, funny, sad: another winner from this always-surprising author."
Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW

"A highly amusing and engaging fantasy novel with a difference."
— International Youth Library: White Ravens Selection

"Jaclyn Moriarty is my favorite YA author because of her amazing ability to fit apparently unrelated stories together to form a beautiful, surprising whole... A Corner of White is a startlingly original fantasy, a moving story of human resilience - and a structural triumph"
—  E. Lockhart, author of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and The Boyfriend List 

"Supremely original, smart, and delightful, this treasure of a book will appeal to readers of both realistic fiction and fantasy."
— Rachel Cohn, author of Gingerbread and Beta

"An absolute delight of a novel: strange yet familiar, whimsical yet real, beautifully written and completely captivating. I can't wait for the sequel!"
— Garth Nix, author of The Old Kingdom series and The Seventh Tower series

"... extraordinary, beautiful, startling ... one of the most astonishingly original books I've ever read.  I loved it!"
— Kate Forsyth, author of Bitter Greens and The Puzzle Ring
