'Jonsberg has once again delivered a clever and thought-provoking novel.' - Magpies'Fast paced, with a natural voice... Catch Me If I Fall will spark some fascinating - and necessary - conversations about the future of our planet, the ethics of technology, and the way we can use whatever privilege we have to make a difference.' - The Saturday Paper'A foreboding sense of mis-matched pieces permeates... this subtle anxiety will keep readers turning pages until every stray puzzle piece has fallen into place. Socially conscious tweens will almost certainly be enthralled by the science fiction elements, dystopian vibe, and brain-bending ending.' - Arts Hub'A page-turner with important themes that will hook younger readers.' - Sydney Morning Herald'Barry Jonsberg takes readers on a compelling journey that tackles important issues. From family dynamics and white privilege to climate change and ethics, Catch Me If I Fall has many unexpected twists and turns with a cliff-hanger like no other. This is a great read for readers 10+... strap in and enjoy the ride.' - Better Reading'In the strangeness of a changing new world, shifts are so subtle, they are embraced as normal and progressive. The chain effect on everyone and everything is brilliantly encompassed in this stunning novel. [Jonsberg] awakens in the reader, areas of their mind, and the world, which perhaps they have never explored till the moment they opened one of his books.' - Kids' Book Review'[Jonsberg's] latest book charms and thrills its readers. The pace of the novel is superb, compelling reading. Though the place we arrive at by the end is clever and unexpected, what mostly reverberates is the importance of being open to what it might mean to be human. Highly recommended for readers from ten to fifteen - and beyond.' - Reading Time
