The review was done in purple.

A mystery of sorts, aimed mainly at early teens. This was a good book. It had an interesting and suspenseful storyline. A good ʺWhat would you do?ʺ kind of book. The young lady, who is the main character, grows by leaps and bounds through this story. The settings could be any normal city anywhere in the world. How the characters handle the disaster that befalls them is what makes this story stand out. Easy to read and follow along with. A good book for early teens to read when they are ready for a little more complicated chapter book.

The Verdict – Overall I highly enjoyed the book. The authors pitched the age group just right, mixing in death, Apocalypse, love, loss, responsibility, adolescence and teenage rebellion all into a solid story-line. As such, I think many young teens would identify with the characters and themes discussed in the book, as well as being entertained by an imaginative and gripping plot. 3.5* Stars.

The above is only the last paragraph of the review. Sophie wrote quite an extensive review.

One last word on the rating I chose for this book: my choice was based on the description, “quite good,” rather than the numerical score. Of all our ratings, I simply felt this was the best description of how I felt about my reading experience. If you are at all interested in the premise of this book, please don’t let the number attached to this review stop you from giving this book a try. For readers interested in astronomy, island life, and fictional worlds where children have to fend for themselves, this might be just the read you are looking for.
