I love the topic for getting teens tuned into the state of affairs as far as the world is concerned. I knew we were in trouble if the heat didn't come back on and I started thinking of this book and imagining the worst. Just today, our electricity went out and my mind immediately started racing knowing that the temperature is in the negative numbers and I had two kids to take care of. I have been thinking more and more about "being green" and how important is it to pay attention to our carbon footprints. This book was a little hard for me to read because it really hit close to home for me. I had to write down the title right away because I was intrigued just from the first line. What I Think: I was in an 8th grade English classroom when they were looking for great opening lines and a student read from this book (see below). Summary: Ten years in the future, Tom, Gwen, and Niki find themselves trying to survive in a world that has run out of oil/gas as a natural resource.
