“This is a fast-paced and engaging post-apocalyptic tale, well-suited to teens who loved The Divergent Series and who are looking for something more. I am already looking forward to book two.” – One More Page Podcast

“This first instalment of Yu’s Genetico Chronicles series feels like a high school version of Gattaca set in an eco-aware society that Greta Thunberg would love… Natalia is a tough, appealing hero as she fights prejudice and mysterious parental decrees… (a) richly imagined, entertaining YA dystopian fable.” – Kirkus Review

“The book arrived in the mail a couple of days ago… It is actually such an interesting book and I’m so invested in it already last night I accidentally read it till 2am.” – Karen, teen reader

“I adored Miscreation?. A perfect mix of sci fi and sweet romance! A must read to add to your to read list! Can’t wait for book two!” – Sacha

“Loved reading this. Right from the start there were hints of trouble in a seemingly perfect world. Plot twists and gradual revealing of character layers kept me intrigued right up to the last page. I really enjoyed the way June Yu grappled with the ethics and potential outcomes of genetic modification.” – Angela

“Would totally recommend Miscreation?. It’s packed with action, romance and drama while strung together with strong themes. It engages you throughout and makes you think about how we view others…. Can’t wait for the next one!” – Andy

“I loved this book. Right from the start I was interested in the characters and their relationships with each other and the fascinating future world they inhabit. The way music flowed through Natalia’s thought processes and is such a part of her is a brilliant and beautiful concept I don’t believe I’ve seen used in this way before.” – Tya

“This novel is just brilliant! My husband is sitting across the room watching me cry like a crazy person… I love the themes of the dangers of evolving technology and the evils of the class system/racism/fear of ‘different’ people.” – Heather

“This book was great. Natalia is choosing a music career over following in her parents’ footsteps, which begins to unravel their lives. As a scientist who took piano for over ten years, I absolutely loved Natalie, and the way she incorporates music in the way she interacts with her world… I’m really hoping the author delves into Natalie’s relationship with her mother… definitely check it out and whenever book 2 goes up for pre-order, SMASH THAT PREORDER BUTTON.” – Lena
