Your mother hollers that you’re going to miss the bus. She can see it coming down the street. You don’t stop and hug her and tell her you love her. You don’t thank her for being a good, kind, patient mother. Of course not—you launch yourself down the stairs and make a run for the corner.Only, if it’s the last time you’ll ever see your mother, you sort of start to wish you’d stopped and did those things. Maybe even missed the bus.But the bus was barreling down our street, so I ran.Fourteen kids. One superstore. A million things that go wrong.
In Emmy Laybourne’s action-packed debut novel, six high school kids (some popular, some not), two eighth graders (one a tech genius), and six little kids trapped together in a chain superstore build a refuge for themselves inside. While outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world—as they know it—apart.
One of my favorites. I really like books like this, kids trapped no adults, what happens kind of thing. 5/5. Now I have read books like the Gone Series and Lord of the Flies but honestly i always wondered what it would be like if this happened where I lived? Not by the ocean or something. Well I live in Colorado and now I have an idea. I also like this book because little kids aren't the last thing thought about (Which kinda seems to happen in other books). Also they figure out that you have to ration food right away or eat the stuff that will spoil. I mean there in a huge store but still they are thinking really smart which is amazing. Anyways really liked this book.
