My only criticism is that some of the action sequences and logistics were confusing. ( ) Cool. A little confusing because Cleo is supposed to have a large head of curly hair but cover does not reflect that. Really original, and I found it really hit home after our pandemic experiences -- both the weirdness of sudden human adaptability (all inside, all the time) and the loss of innocence that accompanies a great quest, whatever motivates it. Really well targeted for upper elementary/ young middle grade readers -- post apocalyptic can be very dark very fast, but this has a certain level of gentleness to it, with the bigger looming themes in the background. I end up with lots of questions, (for instance, do families really never meet again once a child leaves to start a family? Are there limits on childbirth? Who makes all the things that people need? Who maintains the drones?) but I found the book very interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Like everyone else, twelve-year-old Cleo and her parents are sealed in an apartment without windows or doors. They never leave. They never get visitors. Their food is dropped off by drones. So they're safe. Safe from the disease that nearly wiped humans from the earth. Safe from everything. The trade-off? They're alone. Thus, when they receive a package clearly meant for someone else--a package containing a substance critical for a stranger's survival--Cleo is stuck. As a surgeon-in-training, she knows the clock is ticking. But people don't leave their units. Not ever. Until now. A woman is dying. Cleo Porter has her medicine. And no way to deliver it.-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
