My Rating

-4/5-

A free copy was received in exchange for an honest review.

When the purple comet kills off all the adults Abby is stuck on a small island with her 2 neighbors, her brother and her baby sister, plus the other kids on the island.

Book with kids being on their own are some of the neatest most exciting books ever. It was nice to see how this kids banned together quickly to work things out and try to survive. Also during the book you get to see how being on a small island or a small community affects kids differently then like being in a big city. It was cool the author made those two different.
The chapters in this book aren't like regular chapters like chapter 1 and 2. They are more like One day, two days, 4 months, a year, so it basically helps you keep track of time from when the comet came through. The book seemed only to really touch on exciting and eventful moments. Which was fine it's easy to fill in the details. It was also hard to get boring when you're always reading about some problem are another.

The one thing I really did not like about this book is how it didn't really describe the characters. You didn't get to know how they looked at all basically which sucked. I wish the characters were all described more, not only in appearances but also personality. 

I hope to read the next book and hopefully the last book and finish this trilogy.
