genre: YA SciFi Dystopian
A student loaned this to me (his personal copy) and asked me to read it. It was engaging, quick, and left me wanting to know "what's next?" This is book one and definitely invites you to continue.
Luke Hunter's mom and dad have just divorced. His mom takes a new job and they move to a new town called Phoenix (somewhere in Australia). Only things aren't quite what they seem. Jordan (a girl) is the other "new" kid and the two of them are determined to figure out what's going on.
From Goodreads:
Luke is having a rough year. When his parents split up, his mum drags him to Phoenix, a brand-new town in the middle of nowhere.
But Phoenix is no ordinary town. There are no cars, no phones and no internet. Luke thinks this is as weird as it gets.
Then
he discovers that someone is plotting to wipe out the human race.
Phoenix is suddenly the safest and most dangerous place on earth.
And the clock is already ticking.
There are 100 days until the end of the world.
Liked, but didn't love. Not easy to buy on most sites . . . not sure if I'll invest or not. Very appealing to struggling readers, I would think.
