Highfire A Novel

"A fun, unusual contemporary fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews

"The anticipated adult novel from Colfer, best known for the Artemis Fowl series, features more of that wild imagination that loyal readers have come to love (in this case, a dragon who loves vodka, Flashdance, and his Laz-Z-Boy recliner crossing paths with a troublemaking swamp rat)." - Entertainment Weekly

"Author of the popular Artemis Fowl books for kids, Colfer has turned his attention to adult fiction to good effect, writing a delightfully funny page-turner with plenty of crossover appeal to teens and sprinkled with genial turns of phrase: alligators' jaws are "wide like Satan's hedge clippers"; Hooke is "distributing more mess than a group of finger painting toddlers on a Skittles sugar high." Colfer has conjured up voices redolent of the Deep South and delightfully profane. And the characters are simply terrific. But what about those alligators?" - Booklist (starred review)
