Keith Stevenson reviewed In the Dark Spaces by Cally Blackman
Review of 'In the Dark Spaces' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Kiwi author Cally Black’s In The Dark Spaces is a surprising and original YA novel. Set on a spaceship way out between the stars, the story is tense and – true to the title – often dark, but the young heroine, Tamara, has a really engaging voice and a big heart that won’t let her give up trying to find her lost little brother. The manuscript won the Ampersand Prize, and if you have a youngster you want to indoctrinate in the ways of sci-fi, I really recommend it.
