Synopsis

Parker Peevyhouse's The Echo Room is a smart, claustrophobic, speculative young adult thriller with an immersive psychological mystery.

The only thing worse than being locked in is facing what you locked out.

Rett Ward knows how to hide. He's had six years of practice at Walling Home, the state-run boarding school where he learned how to keep his head down to survive.

But when Rett wakes up locked in a small depot with no memory of how he got there, he can't hide. Not from the stranger in the next room. Or from the fact that there's someone else’s blood on his jumpsuit.

Worse, every time he tries to escape, he wakes up right back where he started. Same day, same stranger, same bloodstained jumpsuit.

As memories start to surface, Rett realizes that the logo on the walls is familiar, the stranger isn't a stranger, and the blood on his jumpsuit belongs to someone—or something—banging on the door to get in.

Praise for The Echo Room:

“The Maze Runner meets Memento in this clever, engrossing sci-fi mystery!” —New York Times bestselling author Jeanne Ryan

“The Echo Room is just brilliant. Incandescent writing, wonderful characters, and a plot full of twists and blinding turns. Peevyhouse is a master storyteller.” —New York Times bestselling author Brittany Cavallaro

About Parker Peevyhouse

Parker Peevyhouse is likely trying to solve a puzzle at this very moment, probably while enjoying In-N-Out fries, admiring redwood trees, and quoting movies about sentient robots. Parker's critically acclaimed collection of novellas for young adults, Where Futures End, was named a best book for teens by the New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, and Bank Street. The Horn Book called it “a smart science-fiction puzzle.” Parker lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works at Hicklebee’s Children’s Bookstore.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read! The Echo Room, at a bare minimum, seems to be heavily influenced by The Maze Runner series, and while I would have liked to see a story that felt a bit more original, I appreciated what the author was trying to do here. The first 25% of the book had me completely......more

2.5 Stars Well time loop stories are often quite repetitive. Well time loop stories are often quite repetitive. This was entertaining but a bit too long.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review. Rett wakes up in an unfamiliar room, with a large scar on his head and no idea where he got where he is or even where he is. He quickly realizes that a young woman na......more
