<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Catcher in the Rye meets A Brief History of Time in Peter Hoeg's Borderliners" (Glamour)--a tightly-wound, stunningly original psychological drama about a young man at an ominous Copenhagen boarding school. "Skillfully wrought"--Kirkus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>National Bestseller</b> <p/>Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. But the school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. The children soon suspect that they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment, and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter Høeg's brilliant and dystopian <i>Borderliners </i>is a uniquely philosophical thriller (<i>Boston Sunday Globe</i>) and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Brilliant . . .
