Neal Shusterman Australia/New Zealand Tour 2025
“It’s a good year when Neal Shusterman has a new book out; his imagination knows no bounds.” – Lucie Dess, Readings

“Shusterman, who has written 36 books and won a National Book Award, writes prose with the sort of spring in its step that says: “Stand back. I know what I’m doing.” – The New York Times
“Neal Shusterman’s tightly written prose keeps the reader on their toes, ruthlessly throwing unexpected twists, turns and revelations. YA fiction at its best.” – Counsel
The New York Times bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series is touring Australia and New Zealand in May 2025.
