The Larson-Hall family has it all, or so they think. When a category 6 hurricane—the first in the world—hits their home, everything they know is suddenly in question. In the chaos caused by the landfall of hurricane Luna, two family members go missing, and, with no access to their money, they are forced to evacuate to a FEMA displaced persons camp in Oklahoma. Will the world regain its equilibrium, or will things never be the same again? Holsinger (The Gifted School) has written a beautiful, heartfelt, and disconcerting look at the end of the world caused by climate change. Skillfully narrated by Austenne Grey, this book explores the consequences of our willful ignorance toward climate change, extremism, and nationalism. Grey’s narration enhances the story, as she deftly portrays the characters’ struggle to survive in this new world.
VERDICT This book will no doubt take its place among classic apocalyptic literature. Share with fans of Station Eleven, The Age of Miracles, and other literary apocalyptic novels.
