Critical Praise

“In THE PREDICTIONS Bianca Zander creates pure magic in a nostalgic tale of the ‘70s and ‘80s with a twist. Life on a commune might be all about free love and free will, but for Poppy and Lukas, this life creates difficulties after a startling announcement rocks their idyllic world. When an alluring mysterious visitor to the commune grants each of the children predictions for the future, and one of their own goes missing, Poppy and Lukas abandon the shelter of the commune and attempt to outrun their destinies by escaping into eighties heavy metal London. THE PREDICTIONS is a wild, exhilarating ride and Zander has created an otherworld where destiny and life collide with reality, where lust and love complicate and heal, and where fate and faith triumph.”

—Robin Antalek, author of THE GROWN UPS and THE SUMMER WE FELL APART

“Bianca Zander’s THE PREDICTIONS is an exhilarating and turbulent plunge into a fringe community --- so alive with smells, sounds and textures that you forget you are reading at all. An unforgettable novel about breaking away from others’ doctrines in order to discover what you truly believe and desire. Absorbing, compassionate and filled with gloriously flawed characters that are sure to set off book club fireworks!”

—Susan Henderson, author of UP FROM THE BLUE
