Goodreads 5-star review

Night of the Purple Moon is a captivating book written by Scott Cramer. The author found a different dooms day type of book that targeted anyone who was older than a teen leaving kids behind to fend for themselves, which obviously is quite the dilemma especially when there are some babies involved. The author beautifully captivates the struggles these kids deal with, trying to deal with having food, warmth and also dealing with kids that have the don’t care attitude and destroy and take whatever they want with the no regards for consequences. It also shows that there are also always some that step up to the challenge and do what is right.

Abby and her brother are great characters who with the help of other younger teens step up and help develop a small community on this isolated island. There are without a doubt some challenges that they face, with the biggest one aging and getting closer to certain death, or is it?

This is a very well written book and after finishing I was left wondering if I will continue on with the next books. Based on the excerpts I am not sure at this point if I will. I really liked how this one was set up but I am not sure how I feel what the directions of the next books are going into, but I will decide that at a different point in time.
